      Sure, hey, put in your fridge whatever you want. I knew people who kept their onions in there. Maybe you have a walk in fridge with endless space, I use my fridge for things that actually need to be refrigerated. And if you can’t get through a six pack of eggs in three weeks, why bother buying them at all?

          No, not unless it’s really hot, but I also got one of those french water cooled butter dishes, so that helps a lot.

        six pack of eggs

        does this mean 6 individual eggs, or six larger packs of eggs?

        because that could be one of the differences here, it’s not uncommon for me to get two 18-packs at once, and someone buying at Costco might be getting a huge pallet of eggs.

          Six eggs. That or 10 are the normal packages here. I don’t run a bakery nor do I have a family of 50 to feed, so I don’t need a pallet of eggs… Also I walk to the supermarket, which is 5 min away, so if I’m out of eggs I just get new ones.

          Doesn’t matter though, if you can’t work through your batch of eggs over three weeks you’re doing something wrong and should just buy less eggs.

            Thanks for the clarification on your six eggs, but your ending statement there is just an opinion.

              No, it isn’t? Look, if you only get to the store every other month it’s probably safe to say you’re living so far away from everything that it’s just far easier to have fucking chicken instead of buying shitloads of eggs at fucking costco… It’s not like they’re complicated animals.

                    Yes, it’s a fact not everyone wants to take care of chickens.

                    Exhibit A: me, a singular person, yet still included in everyone, who has no interest in taking care of chickens

                    Exhibit B: a not-insignificant portion of this island’s population, who are sick of the invasive feral rooster and chicken population, and the accompanying noise, to the point that people are hired to remove them from neighborhoods and many would be happy to never see or hear a live chicken again.

        I mean I keep my onions in the fridge in summer, but that’s cause if I don’t they’ll start growing within a couple weeks. Sometimes it’s out of necessity.

      just no reason not to do so

      Space. My fridge is crowded as is without unnecessarily keeping eggs there. But if you have the room then ye
