Eggs are one of the cheapest complete protein sources, and needed if you make your own baked goods. We go through about 2 dozen eggs a week. I only buy pastured since conventional eggs are pig disgusting. so about $40 A month, $480 a year. When I had chickens I spent about $30 A month on feed and got roughly 1/2 dozen eggs a day out of 10 hens  selling the extras for around $7 a dozen or giving them away to clients, staying cool with the neighbors for having roosters in the city ext. granted I would need to buy eggs from around decided as I didn't light my hens. But I definitely feel the economic pain of now having to buy eggs.</blockquote>
