If you haven't been keeping up with the latest news, the cost of eggs has taken a sharp upward turn recently.

Bird flu is to blame for the latest round of sky-high egg prices. If you are watching your pennies and finding it hard to afford the price of eggs, there are a few substitute options you can use. The other option is to just suck it up and pay for those eggs, no matter the cost.

I researched egg prices at several different grocery stores (as of Friday, January 10th) so  that I could estimate how much I'll be spending on them when I do some grocery shopping this weekend.
