The only time I've paid attention to brands was when I was pregnant (I ate eggs daily for the protein and since I like the yolks runny I'd only by the Eggland's Best pastuerized eggs). Now I just go with the cheapest in the size I want.
yes, the fact that there are brands confuses me. not that i can't wrap my mind around competitive brands, but when the store brand is $1.89 for a dozen, and land o lakes is $2.99 for a dozen of eggs the same size, i wonder if there are people who believe there is a difference.
I buy from the farmers market. I used to buy them for $2 a dozen from a patient, but he had progressive disease and therefore stopped coming to Nashville for treatments .
I get mine from a friends mom at the farmers market. Most people don't know that the eggs in most grecery stores are at least 2weeks old. My farmers market eggs are never more than a few days when I buy them. They last longer, taste better, and even look better (more vivid, fluffier). It's a bit pricier (she charges $4.00 a dz) but since I enjoy my eggs runny it's 110% worth it!

Vegetarian eggs are from hens who have been fed a vegetarian diet, and not ground up animal by-product (which has never been a natural part of a chicken's diet).
