The border between Mexico and America has a long history of bootleggers, drug traffickers and gun runners. Now egg smugglers can be added to that list.

    It has been interesting watching the prices from those large commercial egg companies vs the local smaller farms. The local farms didn’t change prices and their eggs are truly cage free and organic. $3.50 a dozen.

    Really reinforces the buy local ideal.

    Afaict the only normal egg prices I’ve seen have been at, of all places, Trader Joe’s. $3.49/dozen. Limit 1 per customer.

    I’m starting to see half and half at the discount groceries as high as $7 for store brand.

    And they’re being destroyed at the border. I don’t even like eggs and that seems wasteful to me
