    Yeah, they were the best value for money for a long time. Within my recent memory (last ten years or so), if Iā€™m recalling correctly, they were a dollar or less per dozen in my region of the US. You couldnā€™t beat them for nutritional ROI.

    The thing about their price increases though is that up until relatively recently, Iā€™ve read somewhere that bird flu was an excuse rather than an actual factor. I could be wrong on that, but I distinctly remember hearing it being tied to greed rather than an actual supply issue.
