    Chicken food has come down in price now to £6.20 a bag, so my eggs came down to £1.60 doz. But they are slow laying at the moment. None to sell.
    NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!
  • I've started buying from the Milkman at £1.19 for 6 large FR Eggs. They are local and always fresh and have had a few double yokers.

    I have a veg box delivered weekly and they also do free range eggs. I pay £2.00 for a dozen eggs per week. Lovely eggs and much cheaper than supermarket.

    the farm shop is a little out the way and only open 4 days a week so its by chance i go there on way past.

    I'm in Leicestershire too, do you mind me asking which local farm you use? I could do with another supplier for my veggies etc?

    For those of you in Central London there are a number of egg sellers at Borough Market and although I think it's not the cheapest place to shop you can get a dozen free range for £1.80 - Cheaper than our local tesco Barn eggs!

    I could make it better myself at home. All I need is a small aubergine...

    I moved to Liverpool for a better life.
    And goodness, it's turned out to be better and busier!
  • I buy mine from a woman at work - 90p for half a dozen. She lives on a farm and brings them in once a week for several people. They tast lovely and have a really tasty yolk (the best bit in my opinion)
    OH picks up free range eggs on his travels - there is a honesty box at the farm gate near where he works once a month.

    I pay £3.25 for a tray of 30, first thing I do when I pick up my eggs after I have collected them is make poached eggs on toast! Nomnomnom
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I was paying about £2.50 + for 12 FR eggs from the supermarket.

    My dad works with a guy who has loads of chickens, he sells a dozen of LARGE eggs for 85p! I'm in egg heaven! They are delicious too, the yolks don't pop and splurt all over when you cook them.

    Yum!
