WOW! We only get 2.00 a dozen and people try to talk us down saying "they only cost 1.50 at Walmart." I have trouble selling my blue eggs , give them to family. Brown eggs are the preferred color for selling, they say "I can buy white at the store."
I'd tell them to go ahead and buy them at Walmart and that you hope they enjoy them.
Eggs are a loss leader at most stores and surely are at Wally World. They sell them below cost to get people to come in and buy the rest of the garbage they make a profit on.
I don't know how people can afford to sell eggs for 2.00 unless they are rotating large flocks and buy feed in bulk.
I can break even buying bagged feed and 3.00/doz. eggs. It keeps us in eggs, meat, and feeds the whole flock - chicks and all.
As others said, most people like large eggs.
I've had people that only wanted white eggs and others that refuse to buy a white egg. Haven't had issues with green eggs. There's usually only 1 green in a carton.
I don't size the eggs normally. I usually keep the small ones for us. When I'm getting a lot of Jumbos, I'll sell a carton for $4 but usually just mix a couple jumbos into the other cartons.
