Egg Cartons

[GuineaLady93]

Hello!
For those of you who sell eggs, where do you get your egg cartons? The cheapest I've been able to find is around 30¢ each and I'm just wondering if I can do any better than that. I would like to get flat top paper cartons, but we could also do egg view paper cartons if they were cheaper.
Thanks in advance!

The cheapest I've seen locally is 49 cents.

I order the clear ones on Amazon. They aren't as cheap as the cardboard ones, but they can be washed and sanitized. I also get cardboard ones from friends. Sometimes I will have 3 dozen cartons, sometimes I'm down to just a few. I do ask people to return the cartons when they get more eggs, and I use the cardboard cartons when giving eggs to someone who doesn't live in the area, since it's not logical to expect them to return it.

I ordered in bulk from cheapeggcartons.com. 125 cartons for $59.99, so around 20 cents each. I did this because I wanted the pretty colored cartons. They'll last me a LONG WHILE because I only sell 3 dozen eggs a week, and mostly my customers give the cartons back.

If you just need any old cartons, I'd ask your neighbors for free ones. Ask on Craigslist or Facebook?

Family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors save all their cartons for me. I will thank them by giving them a free dozen eggs.

We get free ones from people now. They work perfectly fine. I just want pretty ones we can stamp and reuse. I like the color of yours, but 59.99 for 125 of them would come out to 48 cents each.

That's what we do now. Just looking for the cheapest route to buy ones that all match that we can stamp and reuse.

No need to burst math bubbles.

No need to get my hopes up like that claiming 20¢ cartons
