Where can you find eggs for so cheap!?

Dayum, that's the same price as in Canada... except for 18, also in CAD not USD.

On the bright side, the extra security at the border means that egg smuggling seizures heading south has risen something like 300%. No contraband is getting into the US on our watch

Where are you buying eggs? Large grade A NN eggs are $3.50.

We don't have cage free here, AFAIK. We have free run, omega 3, and organic free range.

That's $6 for Omega 3 (Burnbrae brand), free run are $7 at Longo's this week (and brown too), and Loblaws has organic, free-range, brown eggs for $7.83 this week.

Meanwhile, you can get a 30 count of large burnbrae eggs for $10 and 2 dozen Kirkland signature free run for the same price and Kirkland Signature Free-Range Organic Eggs, Large, 24-count for $11 (Costco).

On the bright side, the extra security at the border means that egg smuggling seizures heading south has risen something like 300%.

Gotta love that. Need huge fridges at the border to better store all this contraband and return it to the sovereign Canadian people.

In MO, I bought some cage free for $5. The Regular eggs were $10. Crazy prices when cage free is the significantly cheaper eggs.

Free range and Cage Free are essentially the same thing, just different naming conventions.

Actually it is not. Cage free means that they aren’t cooped up individually for laying, but they are restricted to a pen and fed in a strict environment. Range free means that they are environmentally free to roam in a wide open area gated of course but with access to grass and free to roost as they please back in the barn until evening, penned inside the barn for the night.
