Shelling out more for eggs

AdelaideNow... Shelling out more for eggs: "However, Mr Savvas said the increase hasn't necessarily been bad for the business, which sells eggs ranging from $1.50 to $4.50."

If you are really strapped for cash, you can put conscience aside and buy cage eggs quite cheaply. We don't like to do that but money is money and if you don't have much that is where you just have to do what you have to do to feed your family. It's sad. We need to look at farming so we can get reasonably priced food for everyone without hurting our animals and the environment. In any case, buying organic and free range eggs does cost more and they are nice eggs. Really nice eggs. They make food taste good, they make better cakes and biscuits and they actually go further because they are usually bigger. They still represent good value for money because eggs are very good for you and they are very versatile, so compared with other proteins, you are still ahead with a carton of eggs. I think we have mnaged all the egg hoo ha really well and I congratulate our stores, our farmers and our green grocers for using their brains. I have been inpressed with the improved quality of our eggs.
