I’ll sell for no less than $10.

No lowballers, I know what I got.

    The entire plot of the Jack London story “The One Thousand Dozen” from The Faith of Men pivots on eggs being $1 apiece

        Before this post, I’ve never seen egg cartons that weren’t just some sort of cardboard.

          The cheapest eggs at my US grocery store are almost always in that awful styrofoam. Clear plastic egg cartons are really common too.

            Just… why?

            Surely it costs more than the cardboard, it’s not like egg cartons are made from quality board, it’s reconstituted ‘crap’ that’s just enough to hold together supporting a dozen eggs.

              OP here. Yeah, I don’t know why either, but it seems most eggs in my area come in these plastic/styrofoam cartons. Not in 2 packs like my post though, I cut that out of what was an 18 pack, as a wallet to protect my money, obviously.
