Looking for the best grocery store to buy eggs?
Like many, we constantly scour the aisles to find the best-priced eggs. We have seen the highest spike in eggs this year due to a massive shortage of supplies, which you can read more about here. Because of the prices, we’ve even come up with a variety of egg alternatives.
However, we still are missing our classic eggs! While they’re started to decrease in price compared to last year, prices have yet to go back to normal. For this reason, we are rounding up some egg prices that are lower than the current average. Note that these prices heavily depend on your city and state, which is why we’re including an extensive variety of stores.
When in doubt, buy in bulk!
As the egg price slowly decreases, we notice the best value remains in purchasing value packs. On top of getting more bang for your buck, you also are able to take fewer trips to the grocery store.

How can you tell how long your eggs stay fresh?
You may be on the fence about buying in bulk or prolonging the lifespan of your eggs in the fridge especially when the expiration date has passed. One method our Hip team members have used is the float test!
Simply place your egg in a bowl of water; if it lays on its side on the bottom, it’s still fresh. If it’s standing straight up, it should be eaten soon and best served when hard-boiled. If it floats, it should be discarded as its passed its prime. Our team has tried this even a week after the expiration date, and the eggs have always stayed fresh.
When in doubt, freeze your eggs!
Did you know you can freeze your eggs for up to a YEAR?! We dive into this post deep, discussing how to freeze a variety of dairy products.
For eggs, whisk them up and pour them into an easy-twist ice cube tray or a muffin tin. You can season as desired now to avoid doing so later; when you’re ready to defrost, leave it in the fridge for 24 hours before intended use. What an egg-cellent idea! 🥚
