I think Asda is the cheapest for free range eggs.

I got 18 for just under £3 today.

I think they must be the cheapest supermarket for free range eggs.

I don't think they do any free range chickens though.

    I think you will find that they can roam in organic pastures as well as being fed an organic diet.

    One of the reasons that organic are so much dearer was explained to me by a market stall holder who sold them, is they cannot give them ground Oyster Shell to help harden the shell, so they break very easily, hence more damage.

    I am sure our market is much cheaper that this.

    We get our eggs from a local farm shop and pay 60p for half dozen extra large free range organic eggs:D sometimes they have duck eggs too which you can buy individually.:D

    The asda ones are quite good value though for supermarket prices.
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.

    I know you will all have local places where you get great deals.

    But I wanted to highlight a national "good deal" that everyone can get.

    ASDA do have free range chickens. They are not next to the normal chickens in my branch. They have a seperate organic meat section which has organic lamb, beef, pork and chicken.
