How much do you pay for eggs? Probably rather less than these ones sell for. But there again, these are probably the best I've had in a very long time.

I forgot to mention: they're SS size. But oh so nicely packaged, with cute little individual labels, and fine curly wood shavings to cushion them from harm during transit...
