The Takeout

Egg prices have recently dropped, providing relief to many shoppers. This is good news for those on a budget or for anyone who wants to save money at the grocery store. The lower egg prices also provide relief to farmers who can now sell their eggs at a more reasonable rate.

Finding ways to combat high egg prices without owning backyard chickens can be challenging, but with a little bit of creativity and resourcefulness, it is possible. One of the best ways to make sure you are getting the most bang for your buck is to shop around for the best prices when buying eggs. Look for sales at local grocery stores, farmers markets, online, or even check out a local egg farm or co-op. Another great way to save money on eggs is to buy in bulk; this means buying more eggs than you need at once and freezing them for later use. Lastly, look for alternative sources of protein such as beans, lentils, peanut butter, nuts, and tofu that can substitute for eggs.
