Eggs are getting pricier ahead of the holiday baking season

11. Local coop store

If you don’t have access to a country friend with eggs, might check for an organic/cooperative type store. I was at ours earlier, and while they had gaps in the eggs area, the “local” producers (‘local’ being defined as 150 miles or less) were represented. Only one price caught attention, $3.79 dozen for eggs from free-roaming hens, which was certainly less than some of the prices I noted earlier at Dillons. If you can, I’d look for a source of eggs from a fairly local, small farm. Depending on their setup, I suspect they should be less vulnerable to the bird flu , and fresher and better eggs.
