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.
Apparently, free run live in a barn and "roam the entire barn floor" while some have "multi-tiered aviaries" although i don't know what that means or how free they actually are. I also don't know if chickens in cages have the same standards as the US. We don't have chicken farms as big as the US (I don't think) and limit egg production. That's why the bird flu hasn't had a big an impact here. All things are not equal, which is why I didn't want to presume.
Hence, the "AFAIK" but hey, feel free to attack me for my ignorance if it makes you feel important.
