That's what I bought today for the Berkeley Food Pantry. I make an occasional donation of eggs, because the Pantry rarely has them to distribute, and they're such a basic, wholesome food. At the Grocery Outlet five dozen eggs cost about $6. So everyone who saves egg cartons for me: thank you! On Monday at the Pantry, we'll saw the egg cartons in half with a serrated knife and fill them from the cardboard trays of eggs I bought today. Each household will get six eggs.
Grocery Outlet is cheap and also full of unhealthy food: junky sugar treats; odd manufactured food, like poptarts-gone- mad for breakfast; weird, seasonal ice cream flavors (still selling pumpkin); and dairy food close to the sell-by date. The Berkeley store is crowded and and a bit seedy, the kind of place people endure to save money, but you can't beat the price of eggs, unless you want the hassle of going to Costco.
Re Suzanne's house: The brokers' tour on Thursday built buzz. Four showings scheduled by that evening. Tonight Suzanne has to vacate so someone can see what the house looks like in the evening. She's coming over here so we can have a Real Estate Gossip.
