Large eggs today are about the same size as medium eggs 2 years ago and mass. They even created a new category. Peewee.
Last bacon I bought was $2.39 for 500gr on 07 27 11. Campfire, not the best brand but I like lots of fat.

OOOOooooOOOO 2 years. Wow. People are still getting a mediium for what they paid for large whether it was 3 years ago or introduced 5 years ago.Large egg is an egg not less than 56 grams. Has been that way since at least 2006. Peewee has been a category for at least that long as well.
Still cheaper in NYC or Nakusp than Yellowknife.Yellowknife would be like N.Y.C. compared to Nakusp (pop. 2000 incl. dogs and chickens)
OOOOooooOOOO 2 years. Wow. People are still getting a mediium for what they paid for large whether it was 3 years ago or introduced 5 years ago.
Are these large eggs that were once mediums on the high end of the gr to size range or the low end just making it to large egg size?
If there is a weight "class" then that means the weight has a range from X gr to X gr.

Other than northern allowance minimum wage is $10 an hour.

Until today you had no idea the grading system had been altered. Why bother arguing?Well JLM was going with 3 years for doubled price. Agriculture Canada's market data says otherwise. The reason I was skeptical is because I haven't noticed a great change in the price of eggs. Maybe where he lives they have, it's not reflected in the BC data though.
No they aren't, the size cut-off didn't change for large egg.
Right, and a large egg has been not less than 56 grams since at least 2006. If a medium in 2006 could be sold as a large in 2011, there would have to be a change in the not less than for a large egg, and there hasn't.

I'm a bit of a resourceful type- about 6 years ago you could buy the first dozen eggs at Extra Foods for $1.18 a dozen and then after a year or so they raised it to $1.40 and change. You could come back an hour later and buy another dozen at the same price. Now I find it's impossible to get the same grade of eggs for under $2.60.
JLM. Do you consider a medium egg passed off as a large a large egg?
Being a fairly trusting chap (against my better judgment) I just read what the box says and don't question it! :smile:
Considering you don't live in Vancouver/Victoria where the majority in BC live and the 'average" price is based on I can see how you are paying more for less in a smaller market. I don't need egg data sets to clarify that eggs have gotten smaller and in non-urban markets have doubled in price.Well JLM was going with 3 years for doubled price.
