Our stores are limiting egg purchases as well. I bought mine a little ways back. Got them for $3.49 a dozen at Kroger. Now the same dozen eggs is around $7. But, as I think I mentioned in a previous post, I really don't go through eggs that quickly. I only have to buy eggs like maybe once every couple of months or so.
 
Lived like a king today with my 3 eggs for breakfast at our Amish place.

Threeeeeeeeee eeeeegs! :D
Nice :)

I just heard on the radio news that more people are reaching for plant-based egg substitutes or Egg Beaters as opposed to buying whole eggs.

Wouldn't that be more costly? I don't know, since I haven't bought Egg Beaters in a good while and have never purchased plant-based eggs.
 
I'm not sure what an planet based egg substitute would be.
Well, there's a product called Just Egg. Which is kind of silly because it's NOT eggs. It's made from water and mung beans. But apparently, sales for that product are going up because people don't want to pay the high price for real eggs.

Ummm..ickle

Our Amish family place doesn't have an egg surcharge, yet.
 
I'm seeing up to and over $10 per dozen. Tonight I paid almost $8 for a dozen jumbo eggs (and like an idiot, I got two cartons). If eggs didn't last me two months, I'd never get them. I get $23 a month in food stamps and two cartons of eggs, some tomatoes, and celery totally wiped that out.

I keep being told it's because of bird flu but you know, I haven't noticed any sign of chicken breasts and drumsticks running out and I saw a ton of split breasts at Winco the day before. Honestly, I think they know that eggs were the last cheap food that hadn't gone through the roof yet, so that's why the price on them is raised so high. I'm not disbelieving the thing about bird flu, but let's just say I am a little skeptical that it's causing the shortages it is.
they kill chickens(female), "chicken" meat comes from roosters.
 
The mung bean 'just egg' substitute is just emulsified peeled mung beans and water, maybe some flavorings added. It can be made simply adding peeled mung beans to water in the blender, add flavorings.
That kind will work to substitute as a scrambled egg as it firms up as it cooks.
The egg substitute of ground flax w/water will give you a sticky 'egg' that will work in some baking/cookies.
Chickens are worth getting just for the entertainment value, eggs are extra fun.
