We have one store and the eggs are there every week at a slightly increased price, like $4.50 a dozen. And then there's other stores with like no eggs and a dozen costs $10.
I recently learned blood is a decent egg substitute. But you don't want to be using the tainted blood of the poor for this kind of thing. You'll just get microplastics and lead and such in your food.
Ah, sure. Alabama. You probably weren't coming here anyway (even I don't wanna be here), but I'm just learning things for the protracted lean times that are coming.
There's a product called Ener-G Egg Replacer and I use it to great success for eggs in dough. It won't make a dough "eggy" like is needed for challah or egg bagels, but it'll work as a binder in other baking recipes, as far as I can tell, perfectly. I've never had anyone ask "did you do something different here?" when tasting my baked goods, even if they've had my egged versions previously.
I used to use it just for making food for my vegan pals but now I've just been using it whenever eggs are called for.
fun fact! you can use aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) as an egg replacer in baking (among other things). you could even make some hummus at the same time
