You better run like you stole something because you just did! Last time I saw a local FB post for eggs grown here in town they were $5 a dozen.

Shrug. Country life.

I just paid $4.19 for large today at my local super market. One has to be careful when comparing one store to another. I was told the size rating on the package is provided by the producer, so one company's "large" may be another company's "medium." I notice this particularly in Costco. Their "large" is like my super market's "medium."

That would be news to the USDA: https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/Shell_Egg_Standard[1].pdf

That shows that there is a regulation for the sizes. It does not show what producers put on their packages. I am only going by my personal experience, which one might say is anecdotal. There are also regulations for speed limits on highways and laws governing income taxes, both of which I believe are regularly violated.

Weigh your eggs. You'll find they meet the standards if their from a commercial source such as a grocery store. You might find a couple that weigh a bit under or over, but the whole dozen will meet the weight requirements.

I don't remember the exact specs, but there's a standard for how many drosophila fly (fruit fly) parts per xxx allowed in ketchup, or number of mouse hairs in flour per xxx

Most folks don't want to think about the "stuff" that is in our food. I grew up with it, so I just shrug my shoulders and am happy that my digestive tract will handle it ...

I'd hate to think of how many black flies and no-see-ums I've inhaled and swallowed.

There's a woman near me who sells them for $3 a dozen And the eggs are huge - most up around 2.8 - 2.9 oz. The smaller ones, which weigh the same as commercial large, she sells for $3 an 18 pack. Helluva deal!!!

My egg lady's eggs run large, too. But $3 for 18 is like stealing them, since feed and supplies have gone up about 25% over the past couple years.

I'd much rather give her the money than some store. I can literally see the flock my eggs came from as I drive up. She has a mini-fridge on her porch, and inside the door is an envelope for the money. Now, THAT is country!

We all grew up with it, it's just that some of us were unaware. Enjoy...
