    I buy my eggs from an local organic farm shop (much closer than supermarket) Theres a guy there who know way too much about eggs and I had a passing conversation with him. Even free range / organic eggs done on a farming scale don't even come close to small scale farming quality!

    Although this is a good deal, try find some locally and you get them much cheaper.
    Lets get this straight. Say my house is worth £100K, it drops £20K and I complain but I should not complain when I actually pay £200K via a mortgage:rolleyes:

    i get my eggs in morrisons 18 for £2.79. i think that a really good price. it doesn't appear to be an offer either.

    i can't remember last time i bought a whole chicken as i've not seen a free range one for months now. maybe i just go to the shops at wrong time's.

    Why on earth do some places (Iceland is one, I think) still package eggs in plastic (as opposed to cardboard):mad: - and who on earth would purchase them?

    Actually Asda package their eggs in that clear plastic.
    I don't like it either, but I would rather free range in plastic than battery in cardboard.
    I don't know about Morrisons ones.

    the morrisons one have a cardboard base and a plastic to.

    i agree with MrsE, i would prefer plastic with free range eggs than Cardboard batteries egg's.
