    I haven’t purchased eggs in years.

    Every time I do, they always go bad before I can use them all, so I stopped buying them. I wish stores would let you buy individual eggs.

      How long did you keep the eggs for? I’ve never had one go bad in my entire life. Where I live, eggs can be bought in boxes of 6, 8 or 10.

        I toss them after they start to float in water, usually after a month.

        We have 6 packs available but they cost more than the 12-pk so I don’t buy them. Regardless, even a 6-pk is too many. There are only two people in my house and one of us doesn’t eat eggs.

          Ok, then I understand. In my household we sometimes need 4 eggs for scrambled eggs or pancakes a week. And I never do the floating test, I just pay attention to how the egg smells.
