Eventhough the pic below is just a large tray of (common-variety) eggs, I wanted to put it up ... as it is one of the few reminders (for me & my Hubby), on how we've turned frugal & more thrifty, these couple of years.
We used to buy only the (usual) 10-eggs per tray thing, for many many years. But since we've been on our austerity drive, we have never bought the smaller tray again. It just made more sense (to us) & saves some of money (especially if you love devouring eggs, every other day). Eventhough we're not great egg-eaters in this house, it still beats buying 2 trays of 10 eggs, every week or so.
(Updated : The price of a single small tray these days is between $1.90 to &2.50 or more, at times).
I mean ... have you noticed the price of normal eggs lately?! (a few days ago it was an expensive S$ 5.25 per tray of 30 eggs at Shing Shiong). They are not even organic eggs for goodness sake! (Its almost the same in most of the major supermarkets in Singapore).
Trust me ... you can save a little (maybe not a whole lot) by buying in bulk (for certain household items or groceries).
Just remember to wipe down all the eggs, with a slightly damn wash cloth (don't wash them!) & place them in the fridge, narrow side facing down (if you can). This way your eggs will keep fresh, until you need to use them.

Just one way to keep small costs down.
Remember ... every little bit counts!
