      I went to whole foods last night and was able to get a dozen “organic” large dozen eggs for $5.99. Not that there weren’t more expensive options, but it makes me doubt the “wholesale” pricing was $7.50 unless as I alluded to in a previous comment, the stores are subsidizing them as a loss leader.
