Um...??? Shop Rite 32oz = 2 Pints - for $3.50

None that I know of in Chicago. Or at least if there are, they aren't near me in any convient way.

EDIT: yeah I checked, they are only in a handful of states.

Maybe I will try Aldi, a low end, minimum choice chain of stores. Like if they carry eggs, they only carry one brand of eggs, so they can buy bulk and sell cheap.

Trader Joe's? How much cheaper are their eggwhites than Costco's? I gotta check them out. I really like their store.

Also, what area do you live in that you have a cheap butcher? I live in the Elgin area and all the butcher shops are pricey.

I could not find egg whites at Costco, which surprised me.

I live in Chicago, and go to Bornhoffens on broadway.

I think most Costcos are set up the same, so they should be in the fridge section next to the cottage cheese/milk. They're called Kirkland Egg Starts, and you get 6 pints for $6-7. I have to pick some up today, so I'll let you know the exact price.

That seems pretty cheap! Thanks!

Price must have gone up since they were $7.79 today. Still not a bad deal for egg whites.
