Recently I was sick so got eggs at the corner store. $3.99 for a dozen of large! vs. $1.79 at the closest 'supermarket'. Expensive, they're not even cage free or anything.
But... 2 of the eggs is under 70 cents, giving 140 calories and 12 g of protein. So nutritionally comparable to a chicken sausage at twice the price (and granted, more flavor.) 3 eggs is similar in calories and price to a cheaper pork sausage. And these are the expensive eggs! The regular ones are 15 cents an egg.
