I learned a quick tip from an old lady many years ago. Open the carton and use your first finger just to tip (slide) each egg a bit so you know it is not stuck to the bottom of carton. Quick and easy.
I just look at the bottom of a closed carton first - if there’s a crack it is rare that it didn’t leak
Only works on paper cartons. Shouldn’t be buying Styrofoam but still.
I have never seen anything other than carton boxes for eggs here in Norway. This comment actually baffled me that they came in anything other somewhere.
In Canada, they come in bags.
Okay, but let’s be realistic about that. Let’s say it’s worst case scenario and 2 eggs are broken, how does that affect me? Eggs represent like 0.001% of my budget, if half my eggs were cracked, I wouldn’t notice much.
Most people don’t have 1.000.000 Euro to spend each month. If you are here to brag about your wealth it makes you sound even more like a douchbag.
Okay, you caught me, I didn’t do the math. If you make minimum wage in America, that’s $1160/month gross. An egg costs on average 50 cents. So a single broken egg works out to 0.04% of their monthly budget. I don’t see a broken egg much, less than once a year, so maybe it worth dividing that number by 12.
You are ok with being ripped off is what you are saying. I’m not going to argue with you over whether this is smart or not.
My point is a single egg is less than $1, with the cheap ones it’s less than 50 cents. I don’t remember the last time I made a different decision to save 50 cents.
