"I buy eggs in a carton of 18. I was upset when they went up to $2.63 a few months ago. Last week they went up to $2.93. That is the highest price I've ever seen for eggs. I live in a state with a lot of rural areas and understand that more people have ordered baby chicks this year than they have in many years. I would love to have a few hens, but my husband hates the idea. He sure does like his breakfast eggs, though!" —soonergrandmom
