GCC Shopping Round Up

I stood in the egg aisle, mouth gaping, when I saw the price of eggs this week. And then I remembered. Easter is coming. They always jack those eggs prices up so they can take advantage of us. So if your prices haven't gone up yet, run to the store and buy those eggs!

Here's what I got this week.

Sometimes I think it would be cheaper for me to raise my own chickens with the cost of eggs and how many we eat...but then I remember I am afraid of chickens ;)

Your eggs are still cheaper than ours! Here in Indiana, 5 dozen eggs cost me $8.16 on a regular basis! I sure hope they don't jack up the price for the holidays! UGH!
Blessings!

Around here at Easter time in MI, the price of eggs goes way down with a promotional thing to get you into the store to buy other items. We have a few chickens, but when you have to buy feed, it is quite pricey..........

Blessings for a wonderful Easter -- He is risen; He is risen indeed!

We buy Pete's Organic...and it's 3.69 for a dozen...:/.

I think it may be time to get some chickens.

I always find great deals on eggs at Passover/Easter time--a dozen for .99, and next week an 18 ct for 1.49 at Shoprite! I use tons for Passover!!
