Meal Deals: Saving on Eggs

The cost of eggs has gone up 75 cents over two years. We still found the ways you can save the next time you crave an omelet.

Like most things the best time to buy eggs is when they are on sale. If you see a good price don't be afraid to buy extra. Go for the 18 or even 24 count. Eggs can stay good up to a month past their due date. You may want to think twice about organic because they contain the same amount of cholesterol and nutrition as regular eggs, but the organic will cost you twice as much.

If you do find a good deal don't be afraid to add eggs to the menu for dinner. They're a good source of protein and can even take the place of a meat entree for an evening.
