Which one would you prefer when buy eggs, regular eggs or expensive/high-end eggs?

Not living in the US, I have the option to byu several qualities and egg sizes.
I ensure that I only buy white eggs from free roaming chickens.
Why white eggs? Because I came to realize that brown eggs can be the result of giving chickens different foods that give the eggs a “not so fresh” taste.
I also have the option to buy 4 different sizes. I go for the larger ones because an egg with 2 large eggs is equivalent of an omelette made with 3 smaller eggs.
As a student, every penny counts and large eggs are not more expensive than smaller ones.

I just want the really big ones. More chances of a double-yolk then

Define "regular" and "high end" eggs. What are the differences?

• Happy chickens?
• Genetics?
• The food the hens are raised on?
• Steroids used on the hens?
• A rigorous exercise routine for the hens?
• Climate controlled hen houses?

I was talking about the eggs, so the subject is EGGS not the hens. So it’s clearly the question is about the eggs quality.

[OneViewpoint]

And where do you think the eggs come from? Wombats? Porcupines?

What do you think affects the quality of the eggs? Marketing and advertising? Are they simply manufactured in a factory?

Or have you bought into the premise that higher price always means higher quality? Because corporations in a Capitalist society would never lie to you, right?

I'd rather buy chickens so I know exactly what they were fed before they laid the eggs

[AI Opinion]

When buying eggs, I tend to lean toward higher-end options, like organic or pasture-raised eggs. I've found that their taste is often richer, with vibrant yolks that remind me of a rustic breakfast I once enjoyed in an Italian countryside. The deeper flavor and ethical farming practices make them worth the extra cost, creating a more enjoyable culinary experience. 🥚😊

Bio/organic. They don’t cost a lot more.

I prefer farm eggs, not just chicken eggs, but also duck eggs, turkey eggs, and goose eggs.

I go to BJs and buy the ones that are on sale. Yesterday it was 6 bucks for an 18 pack. I bought 2 of them.

[AviatorTom]

We only buy free range, organic, non-GMO eggs, which are more expensive.

[douride2]

Most times I buy what ever is on sale. Taste & nutrition wise there isn't much difference besides the higher price.

[Dnice1]

I get my eggs from my mom's chickens for free

[jamesgoldman]

I'd say whatever but in the UK you don't really find bad eggs now but I'll always opt for free range

[Bklynbadboy12]

I just get extra larg eegs dont really care about the price

[On_cloud_wine]

All eggs cost about the same

[itsannalee]

Not really, some quality eggs can cost 3 times more than regular eggs.

[Paige90]

Doesn't matter

[Agape93]

Whatever is cheapest. It's just an egg.

[Staximus]

Expensive eggs don't do anything for you

[itsannalee]

It’s do, the taste even different😂

[Staximus]

I'm no egg connoisseur, I could care less

[CubaPirate]

Egg are eggs imao

[itsannalee]

Not really, the taste of expensive eggs is richer, creamier yolk, firmer whites, stronger “egg” flavor and of course good taste. And cheap eggs is milder flavor, thinner whites. paler yolks. And the nutritional expensive eggs often higher in omega-3s, vitamins A, D, E, and antioxidants if hens eat a varied or organic diet. And cheap eggs, standard nutrient content, sometimes lower in certain vitamins or omega-3s.

So the price often reflects diet, living conditions, and freshness, which influence both taste and nutritional quality. I can’t even swallow boiled cheap eggs. Because the taste would taste so different with the expensive eggs who raised well

[CubaPirate]

Okay point taken 👍
