I'm also not making recipes that require a lot of eggs. I used to scramble five for our pancake and egg suppers, but cut it back to three. Now there are no leftovers for the dogs and I get about half an egg, but that's okay.
I usually make 1/3 of the mix, but that time I was going to give most of the cake to my sister and her family :-)

Cupcakes don' work as portion control for me. Nothing works as portion control, other than not having tihngs in the house LOL

Yes, lots of things are just as good or better straight out of the freezer.

I've rarely bought them, but I haven't had a problem with this batch of four dozen I bought. The whites are really thick.

Watery eggs are older. Mine are dated Feb 23, so they'll probably thin out by then.

Just saw a post in our local area page about eggs

18 beautiful fresh brown eggs for 4 dollars!

A dozen for three.

Maybe cuz it is warmer down here and hens are actively laying - we have better prices?

I do not buy eggland eggs. My first choice is happy eggs brown eggs or nellies or vital farms. I like the yolks to be almost orangy. Right now those first two opetions are in the six dollar range where I am.

I am not going to stop buying healthy and or high protein food because of cost. I will buy them on sale when possible and I will adjust my budget when necessary but eggs are still a fairly low cost source of protein andhealthy fat.
