I did the weekly grocery run this afternoon and the least
expensive dozen large eggs at Shoprite were -
$3.99 Land O Lakes 1 Dozen Grade A Large Brown Eggs
A bargain at half the price...
And the BROWN ones were cheapest. Used to be the opposite -
brown used to be more expensive than white. Weird.
And the only difference between brown & white eggs?
White eggs are laid by white chickens, brown eggs by brown chickens.
That's it.
Just kidding.
Here in my area on the east coast, the TV ads have long claimed that ‘brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh.’ Then one day years ago, I was in California and I saw the very same commercial about the brown eggs. I never believed that crap anyhow.
I don't believe the May Tag commercials either.
THAT’S RACIST!!!
But really... I can tell the difference between the “organic” ranch free range eggs and the mass produced eggs. Especially when you crack that egg and see that beautiful dark, almost orange, yolk. So good. But yeah... Everything is 2 to 3 times what it use to be now.
