Gonzo the Face Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 In reading this mornings Bkk Post Online there are 2 articles on egg prices. One talks about possible egg price gouging and the other talks about a big slump in prices. Very confusing. Which is the correct story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denim Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 13 hours ago, Gonzo the Face said: How can you tell if they are fresh Ones?? I can't find a date stamp on them. On cartons bought from Big C or Tesco the date of manufacture is printed on the label. Sometimes they push the fresher eggs to the back and leave the older ones showing at the front. I generally find the eggs in a big carton of 30 a little fresher and smaller than in the 10 baht carton. I try to avoid buying eggs from a market for this reason because you can't always tell how fresh they are. Also , in the hot season eggs exposed to the heat tend to go off quicker. You will notice when you try to fry the egg because it runs all over the pan and bubbles up. In this case only good for omelettes or scrambled egg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliveshep Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Went to the market yesterday and my wife had to buy duck eggs, big rich, 135 baht for 30. Egg lady told her they normally open up at 2.00 am for their egg delivery, and these days they sell out quickly so if you want chicken eggs come very early. They won't be open at 2.00 am now there is curfew! So 6.00 am this morning turned up at the market, my wife bought 3 trays of 30 size 1 eggs for 135 baht each tray. We normally pay from 95 - 100 baht for that size. I think the threats of prison and fines will keep prices half-way reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm somewhat mystified in Chiang Rai, because the shelves are almost bare of eggs in Big C, yet across the highway in Tops the shelves are full.

CM Dad Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I bought eggs at a local supermarket chain here in CM yesterday evening. Prices were normal and the supermarket was fairly well stocked with eggs though there were some areas where the shelves were a bit barer than usual, for example Ramen noodles. I also purchased one of the last boxes of Imperial pancake mix - a Thai brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldera Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The eggs I bought today at 7/11 were the same price as before, so maybe those two news items average each other out. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraynz Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I just bought 10 eggs at family mart For 62baht. I wish i could get that much for my eggs in nz. Had 36,000 laying hens. Times were extremely hard after the industry was de regulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxxper Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 We’ve just got over the toilet roll issue.......start a new series of posts on eggs why don’t you.......if they are any more than Thb 90/30 eggs don’t buy them, walk away !! Plenty of people behind you will buy them. See we’ve got lots of eggsperts on TV again.....sorry couldn’t resist that one. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place the egg in a bowl of water. If the egg lays on its side at the bottom, it is still quite fresh. If the egg stands upright on the bottom, it is still fine to eat, but should be eaten very soon, or hard-boiled. If the egg floats to the top, it's past its prime, and not good for eating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb17 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Eggs are really bad for you - especially the yolks - always have a white omelette or white scrambled eggs . Sorry only joking - poached eggs are just truly wonderful. I probably had to say it - why on earth would you worry about the price of eggs - unless you are an eggoholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
