With all the talk of egg shortages and high prices I was wondering how many eggs would you normally use in a week? On average it was 2-3 dozen a month for the two of us.
How many eggs do you use?

I eat 2-3 eggs almost daily. That's my protein for the morning.

Zero Eggs, unless I am baking for others. I need eggbeaters, and my husband only uses egg whites in a carton.

We go through them differently depending on what meals we have planned. Some weeks we can go through a dozen and a half, and others we barely touch them. Personally I find the price of beef to have gotten ridiculous, much more so than eggs. We can't afford a good steak any more!

There's just me , and I like eggs but I don't like the idea of too much cholestrol, so usually a dozen ( or sometimes they come in 10's)..lasts me 2 or 3 weeks...
Last week for example I seemed to have an egg almost every day, which isn't usual..so this week, I had none...
On another forum some years ago, a fella was talking about how he makes breakfast every morning for him and his wife, using 5 or 6 eggs.. . I expressed concern for him saying to be careful that he wasn't getting too much cholestrol which would affect his heart...
he was furious and told me so, said there was very little chance , his doctor has said he was very healthy blah, blah..he'd been a pro sportmsman in his younger day and so on ... so I never mentioned it again.. less than 6 months later BOOM... massive heart attack...

Two eggs for breakfast or some other meal, probably 3 times a week.

I usually boil up 6 eggs and keep them in the fridge to make up a Caesar Salad or curried eggs with mayonnaise on a sandwich.

How long do eggs keep fresh in the fridge one they've been boiled ?
I can buy hard boiled eggs straight off the shelf in Spain, and I do ... and they don't seem to have any preservatives in them... but then I use them within 3 days...
we can't buy boiled eggs here ...
There may be alternatives but there are no substitutes for eggs.

I use a half dozen every 1-2 months.
I have stopped buying them for now.
It’s funny how we put certain price limits on things, eggs are too expensive but a mediocre delivery pizza is still a great value, etc…
I probably won’t bother buying any eggs until I make my first macaroni or potato salad of the season.

We use them mainly for baking and only 3 or 4 a week for eating. They are not particularly expensive in the UK unless you want 'Organic' eggs. On the point of cholesterol, I was told by a cardiac consultant, that dietary cholesterol has very little effect on blood cholesterol levels.

Sometimes eggs strike as something I want, and I might buy a dozen. But they tend to last quite a while.
I haven't had an egg in the house for at least 3 months though.

None right now. If we want eggs, we go out for breakfast.

Except it DOES in some people.
I am one of them.
A dozen eggs lasts me a long time since I barely cook. I will use 3 at a time for French Toast, Matzoh Brie, scrambled, hard boiled. Lasts me 2-3 months I think. Love eggs, but as I said, I barely cook. So I guess the huge price increase does not affect me much as I use sparingly.

I was never a big egg eater so a dozen a month or more I'm guessing. I will make French toast for any meal, a rare scramble or occasional egg salad. I don't use them in potato
salad.
I've not paid more than 3.95 for a dozen and when they run out, I'll never pay more.
