I had to get my calculator out because here in Costa Rica they sell eggs by the kilo. Usually only the higher priced eggs are sold by the Dozen, the Lesser quality eggs are sold in quantities of 15. Today, the high quality jumbos we're about a dollar a kilo cheaper. This dozen of eggs cost me, in dollars, $3.18.
We've had the same shortages as up there when it comes to chicken meat but it hasn't caused our egg prices to go up. Figure that one out, I can't.
