This is a real thing I do. It feels weird if the weight of the carton isn't evenly balanced when I take it from the fridge.

Whoa look at Mr moneybags here, flexing with an 18 eggs container

Per egg it is cheaper than buying the dozen.

For regular commodity eggs, the cost per egg is exactly the same between 12 and 18 packs (at least at my grocery store). However, with eggs being so expensive, I've started treating them as a luxury good, and so I took a look and noticed that the prices of the fancy eggs haven't increased nearly as much (on a percentage basis) as the basic commodity eggs. I've also noticed that with the fancy eggs, you actually do get a small volume discount for buying 18 instead of 12. Therefore, the skyrocketing egg prices have actually caused me to buy fancier eggs and more of them at a time, LOL!

Before:

  • 12 normal eggs: $1
  • 18 normal eggs: $1.50
  • 12 fancy eggs: $4+ ( 4x "normal," too much of a price premium)

Now:

  • 12 normal eggs: $5
  • 18 normal eggs: $7.50
  • 18 fancy eggs: $10 (1.33x "normal," a small enough premium to say "might as well get the better quality")
