Have or had one near me too. Not sure they still hae the honesty box. Definitely off the beaten path, and sometimes ravaged by flood and fire. They used to sell chickens too.

There is an honor box at my local library for books & DVD(s) they want to sell.
I assume when a book or DVD doesnât get checked out for a while, its thrown on $1 sell shelf.

Look at the childrenâs picture book, âGwendolyn the Miracle Henâ by Nancy Sherman. Thatâs the egg layer Iâve always wanted.
Iâve said that so many times

$3.49 yesterday at Whole Foods for the store brand (limit 2 doz, bit no one appeared to be stockpiling)
$4.99 at Trader Joeâs for the cheapest kind that used to be sub-$3.
None available again at the local TJs. I went to a supermarket and found some organic jumbos at about 80 cents more than the comparable ones I get at TJ, $5.75.
Has anyone else noticed that eggs have gotten smaller over the last couple years. What used to be X-large are now the new Large. And Large are the old Medium.
I was thinking the same thing just the other day. Mom occasionally likes a fried egg on a half muffin. Seems when I used to make this, the egg covered the muffin. The last few times the muffin seems to need two eggs. Oddly, I havenât noticed any difference in my baked goods or other recipes. (I usually buy large, but a switch to Jumbo may be in my future.)

egg sizes are based on the weight of a dozen, per the USDA
