Free range eggs are very dear these days, they must be feeding the chickens cavier as I cannot think why they have gone up so much recently. Definately a grabbit.

It's down to the laws of supply and demand. A lot of people have switched to free range egss after all the TV programmes about how cruelly battery chickens are treated, so now there aren't enough free range eggs to meet the demand. So until more producers switch to producing free range eggs, and the shortage eases:

1) Supermarkets will quite often not have enough in stock to satisfy demand.

2) Prices will be high.

Sainsbury's haven't had any of their own brand eggs for the last couple of weeks annoyingly (they're getting worse!) and only had this brand but I don't think they are cheap and this doesn't belong in this section as it's hardly a Grabbit.

Definitely a grabbit! I bought some when I was in there last as it was only an extra 40p to get 12 rather than 6 like I'd normally buy. We ended up using 11 in one day!

The offer's finished now (in my store anyway).

Well it wasn't a bargain then, you'd have been better off buying 6! :rotfl:

It was a grabbit, because I grabbed it. :cool:

It wouldn't have been a grabbit if I didn't use the eggs and they went mouldy I suppose..

Roger_Rampant

Yes, but if you only bought 6 you wouldn't have been able to use 11 all in one go!

So I would have had to eat something else.. I don't get what you're trying to say

at the risk of getting told off, if anyone out there does need any eggs (not free range although they do do them at £1.29 for 6 i think), aldi supermarket does 10, but with 2 free at the moment, for 99p. they are large eggs, i have been told are very fresh when eaten too. Obviously free range is better and more ethical but some people on here cannot afford to be ethical when it comes to feeding their families. i hope it is of use to someone.

Well, some of my attempts at humour are more successful than others - the intention was good though! :rotfl:
