It all depends on the price. Eggs are graded by weight, not size, with the minimum weight as follows:
Jumbo 2.5 oz.
Extra-Large 2.25 oz.
Large 2 oz.
Medium 1.75 oz.
Small 1.5 oz.
Peewee 1.25 oz.

For the most eggs per dollar, You've got to divide the weight by the price in order to get the most ounces per dollar.

Keep in mind, though, the shells are discarded so they add weight but don't add usable egg. The larger eggs have thinner shells, so the amount of useable egg is a higher percentage in the larger eggs. This generally makes the larger sizes better.
