Not sure tbh. The same pace farm brand eggs are $2.99 at Supabarn Casey too, same expiry of 13 Dec
Coles and Woolworths are only selling genuine eggs, at least $5.80 per 700g. /s
Sorry my reply to the first comment was how can you tell if it’s a knock-off eggs?
Supabarn Casey has fresh fruits and vegs and that’s quite decent for nearby suburbs to shop at too
@BargainsGrabber: Sorry I meant to reply to op in relation to the price of eggs at WW.
Yes I always believe that all eggs have equivalent nutrients unless farmers feed bad food to them.
What is the difference between a knock-off egg and a genuine egg?
The sarcasm

From what I see, this egg deal is a bait. Tho the shelves were empty in the evening.
The reason for this bait should be to clear lots of other outdated stuff that I think they took over from Fresco.
Don't think it's legal to sell outdated stuff in mass volume like this. Most products they put store front sale are outdated and short dated. Some inside the store are outdated too. These should be marked to be clear for very cheap but they still hold high prices on many. They just hope to earn as much as possible from these outdated things. I bet they could be in trouble if reported.
Luckily I was concerning and checked the dates. They do lebel past date on some of these but not very clear. Maybe it is okay to try something new on discounting.
If cost is your sole motivator, I cannot argue that these may appeal to you - but having kept hens myself & seen them up close for years I cannot in good faith doing anything but place a negative vote against such a product on the voting guidelines basis of 'Issue with product'
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:voting_guidelines#neg…The level of suffering etc for cage birds is IMHO unacceptable in 2025, 'barn laid' and faux 'free range' are not perfect but are better than 4 to 9+ hens jammed in a wire cage with less an an A4's sheets space each.
https://www.rspca.org.au/latest-news/blog/what-exactly-batte…Have tried to place this constructively & back with supported info. :-)
To be fair I don't think it is patronising. It's their opinion and they posted it tactfully. If you don't agree with it then ignore it. They even said if cost is your sole motivator these may appeal to you acknowledging this is a good price per dozen eggs. It just doesn't fit with their morals.
If you don't agree with it then ignore it.
If they don't agree with the post, they can ignore it. Instead, they posted the comment and cast a negative vote. And they clearly use "if cost is your sole motivator" to place themselves on the high /s moral ground.
Yes, they cannot stand seeing the hens in cages while enjoy hen's children.
@tooblue: I think the issue is people are getting triggered over seemingly nothing. One user posts their opinion tactfully and another clearly has taken it personally.
They posted an opinion based on lived experience and acknowledged it's a good price. The response is quite disproportionate and attacks that user.
I'm not saying I agree or disagree with them I just felt it was a bit harsh so commented. You seem to disagree and have inferred some negative connotation to cost being the sole motivator on a bargain website (where often cost is the sole motivator). I read it totally different I.e. Someone suggesting if cost is your sole motivator this is a bargain but for his morals it doesn't equate to a bargain because he factors in animal welfare. I don't see him judging me though.
Either way I think everyone should just chill out. There are cheap eggs if you want em and if not then there's nothing to see here.
If they don't agree with the post, they can ignore it. Instead, they posted the comment and cast a negative vote.
Pretty sure 'they' can do either. Whats that got to do with anything?
And they clearly use "if cost is your sole motivator" to place themselves on the high /s moral ground.
See this is where you're out over your skiis. Its not indicative of essentially placing yourself ona high moral ground to point out a product that is 100% price focused at the cost of most other considerations.
If a comment had been made saying,"Responsible people don't eat caged eggs." Or 'Intelligent people don't eat them etc" THAT is taking a high moral ground in the way that yeah even can grate on me.
But I didn't do that. I pointed out and provided linked resources supporting what I stated - that you disagree with it and are apathetical to considerations other than saving 10-20c per unit. Cool…but get your facts straight before you come in asserting nonsense defintions that do not fit your weak counterpoints.
Yes, they cannot stand seeing the hens in cages while enjoy hen's children
LOL..What the %$# this is supposed to mean I have no idea of - but suffice to say it aligns quite nicely with the logic, cohesion & sense of the rest of your post.
The definition of patronising is: treat in a way that is apparently kind or helpful but that betrays a feeling of superiority.
If pointing out the experience I have had from keeping hens, (which you have or have not had?) is your standard of patronising I think you need to check your understanding of the term.
While I get that 'ignorance is bliss' I often wonder why there's such a strong reaction by the folks who want to buy eggs cheaply to simply stating things that are universally regarded as irrefutable on the matter? i.e the hens suffer a lot to deliver a product at this price point.
The lack of constructive discussion back is a tad telling.
I bought the 'cage free' but am vaguely aware it's not significantly better.
Usually I get 1500 per ha free range but can understand not everyone can or wants to spend $10+ for a dozen eggs.
@Kikkoman56: Your point is fair, but it's still better than these.
Hmmmm there's a LOT of product choice in between these from this deal wire cage eggs for $1.50 ….and $10 eggs. I would suggest plenty of good choices in the middle, so it's not an either/or situation.
@Daniel Plainview: I agree there are choices in the middle, but evaluating those choices is still subjective to the individual and their circumstances.
The objectively worse conditions of cage eggs I don't disagree with. How much you value the suffering of a chicken vs your own needs, financial, sustenance or otherwise is not something I could objectively state for others.
@Kikkoman56: Also it is like killing cow or fish for food, though other species have that happen also with food chain. But what can you do. I wonder what happens when we as humans die also
unfair to speak down to people and wag your finger if its the only option they have
Dunno what site comment you are reading but it doesn't look like it's this page lol. Please quote these supposed statements :P
@Dabela: @Dabela
Mate where are you getting all this 'speak down to'…..'wag your finger' …..'patronising' stuff from?
You've come into this discussion doing literally nothing but attacking other members. In my experience thats indicative of a lack of personal character and a weak argument or both.
@Dabela: Hmmm again struggling to 'play the ball and not the man' - how is it 'morally superior' to point out that the means to the end, when it comes to getting a product at a 'good price' should not be a consideration?
This is the interesting thing - there is zero constructive discussion of whats asserted by me, but rather than pointing it out - is in and of itself unacceptable.
It is an utterly daft statement to make that eggs are "…exclusively for the rich." - thank you for taking away what little credibility you might have had in your reply. ;-)
PS. Sadly for me, I am not rich.
geez it's a comment on a website and how is he exactly patronising there, unlike the joke about vegans who have a problem with you and will let you know it.
Bit thinskinnedshelled here? :PAnd to be very pedantic I'm purely talking about this comment not anything else that may be posted on the site or anyone who knows them in real life.
Look I get it - happens any cage egg deal - I understand that folks want to buy and not be told, what they are atleast superficially aware of - it's a pretty awful product that the Govt has ALREADY said it is going to outlaw.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-05/coles-caged-egg-ban-d…But as i said, I live rural - I have kept chickens for years and if you see their lifecycle up close you know what goes into giving you those couple of sunnyside ups we all enjoy.
I have tried to do in a civil manner, a constructive manner and providing links from good sources. And I've not downvoted comments SIMPLY as my hip pocket prefers otherwise. I like to save a buck as much as the next guy, but I also don't want a pretty intelligent animal (moreso than many dog breeds) to suffer excessively so I can just buy more stuff. :-)
@Daniel Plainview: I agree with you. But that unfortunately applies to most animals grown commercially just for food.
Apart the clear cruelty in growing animals in small cages (for eggs or meat), do you reckon the egg is actually different? I sort of think it just depends on the feed given to the chickens? Happy to be corrected.@Mad Max: I completely get where you are coming from. I'm not vegan//vege etc but I have consciously curbed my meat input in the last decades to make it a part of the meal, rather than it being THE meal. I dunno if many folks who are voting etc - generally being that we are a city/metro oriented country may NEVER have been around livestock etc in their life. So cattle, pigs, chickens etc are all things they just see in real life underneath some plastic wrap in the refrigerated section of the supermarket.
That might sound odd but I think thats the truth for many people. I live rural, so have had a different path - its not one thats superior etc its just different. So I think those critters got a pretty crap hand in life. However, I think there's a way and means thats DECENT in treating them as they leave this world as something to be consumed by us.
So long winded way of saying - yes you are correct, there's not a lot of difference between cage eggs and feedlot raised beef, the high rise towers they have in Asia where pigs live cramped into concrete & steel lots etc. Thats all animal products where the price & profit is put first. The animal welfare, last.
I think a balance is better as there is a quote attributed to Mahatma Gandhi that conveys what I mean,""The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members".
I can't comment on the feed given in such places - I think you will find it's all relatively similar as they wish to maximise production (a battery hen's life is relatively short and they're 'liquidated' as soon as their youthful productivity starts to decline i.e lots of eggs laying left - just might be an egg every 2 days rather than every single day. Cheers for the question.
@Daniel Plainview: Whilst I agree with your concern about animal welfare, I am also concerned about what the animals are fed and medicated with in order for them to whitstand such atrocious living conditions and maximise the profit (it always comes down to the $).
That applies to all farmed animals, including farmed fish such ad salmon trouts, etc.
To use another quote "you are what you eat".@Mad Max: Max, a valid and good concern. There's a lot of info out there on such things, alas I do not pretend to be in any way an authority on it but think you have an excellent point and basis for consumer discretion/choice.
Just a thanks to the folks who whether they disagreed with me or not - were good enough to give me an upvote so that we could constructively discuss this matter.
While I myself pointed out that yes, it is a very low price in 2025 there are tradeoffs that have been made in the production process which have allowed that. i.e fair dialogue on what costs have been borne by 'others' to allow this price to be so very low.
Anyway so thank you for supporting ,if nothing else this discussion. :-)
Why even eat eggs in 2025. Plenty of options not available in Australia because people knowmainly 2 3 things to eat like eggs chicken etc. there is a lot variety
I'll say it again
excellent, more eggs for us! Thanks worry warrior
Why even eat eggs in 2025
Careful, you'll be labelled an extremist.
I'm just using this price to see how much the rest of the supermarkets have been ripping us off for longer than necessary.
Thank you for articulating that so well. I agree totally. Cage farming is basically torture.
This was Fresco recently. I thought they did okay. The prices were not low relatively but there were more choices of ansian produces. Colesworths really kill other markets with their fake discounts by rewarding points (I guess 20% activate and got the points while the other fellas pay in full)
Edit: Most of their stores have been closed except their biggest hypermarket store in Calamvale still remains opening. The IGA (same name in Chinese) run by them also have closed.
From what I heard, they were falling behind on repayments to their suppliers. I remembered towards the end before they closed down they were increasingly out of/short of stock of a lot of items.
It's a shame it took down the runcorn IGA you mentioned. Hopefully they reopen it, there used to always be a bunch of old asians just hanging out the front chatting on the benches.
I went to that IGA a few times during opening weeks , wide range but prices were pretty expensive . The aisles were quite wide though. Unlike pretty much every other asian grocery I can think of.
Asians of Sunnybank, represent! Though missed opportunity to make them $1.44 for a dozen, as in a gross.
I don't care how the chickens are raised; I care more about the price of eggs. Rather than being concerned about the chickens' health, my priority is ensuring that people have access to eggs, thereby securing their physical well-being. I do not oppose some people focusing on chicken welfare, but it must be understood that their focus on chicken health can indirectly lead to a rise in egg prices.
Although they may not maliciously intend for the poor to be unable to afford eggs, the actual outcome is negative. Therefore, I dislike groups that only focus on what they think is right or what they want to care about, if they cannot first adopt a human-centered approach and care more about the lives of the poor.Credit for a constructive reply and balanced discussion.
I would say to you though, do you limit this view that 'price is paramount so more can access the product' to any particular good or services? As this is simply not how nearly anything in the marketplace is handled and prices are put up for nearly everything, thus reducing demand due to any number of considerations pertaining to all manner of matters e.g safety rules, minimal pay, standards of quality etc
I would say it's a bit of a slippery slope and while I cannot disagree with the core of what you say, I think application of it still needs factoring in of mitigating circumstances.
I'm the last person (well one of them) who is 100% pro-animal rights etc - but I think in any arguement where there are extremes - being in the middle is a good thing. And this product and its ilk are IMHO not.
Stupidest f'n thing I've read all week.
You obviously don't have an issue with sweat-shops and starting one up in Australia then, since we could certainly lower the price of many items and therefore ensuring people have access to these products. I don't care how the workers are treated; I care more about the price of my products.This is the norm though, this is why Temu, AliExpress, SHEIN and all of the others are so popular.
Stupidest f'n thing I've read all week.
You didn't even understand what I was trying to say, or maybe you didn't even finish reading it. And you're already jumping in to give your opinion here. That's really interesting.
Agree that is the tension at play. But animal suffering en masse isn't the answer for me. Increase help for the poor and increase animal welfare. Chickens are living breathing animals that can experience suffering. And we breed so many humans that now we need them to suffer for us to survive? I don't know the exact solution to suggest but id like to aim higher.
You're spot on. The pricing of any item has to consider a bunch of factors. But these factors have to be prioritised; things like safety and the worker's efforts are high-priority factors that must be the foundation of any pricing decision. My core belief is that we need to be human-centred in our approach.
I totally accept that being human-centred doesn't mean ignoring other species. However, if, at a specific time, due to technology or other reasons, we simply can't look after animal health while maintaining this human-centred focus, then we have to make a choice. This is a massive issue and, if we opened it up, we wouldn't be able to fully sort it out.
But just looking at eggs, if I remember correctly, a dozen of eggs at the supermarket was only a couple of bucks a few years back. Now the price has doubled, even tripled, and we're constantly dealing with shortages. I'm sure this is putting a real pinch on a lot of people's lives.
So, to be blunt about this specific issue, I back the price and accessibility of eggs over so-called 'chook welfare'.Hey look another +1 vote from me. I get where you're coming from. I have to disagree with you though that where you say due to tech etc we can't look after animal health etc - i.e we have to choose one or the other. I think this doesn't pass even basic tests in Australia. If we were in another country of lesser prosperity, I could come around to this.
I think in reality people are very selective with their arguments on this i.e suddenly there's no money to spend on eggs so obviously they are 'forced' to buy caged - whereas on any number of other products & services they consume in that period they do NOT choose the absolute cheapest solution. i.e caged eggs for them are seen as a FUNGIBLE COMMODITY (i.e caged eggs to them are just as good as any other eggs) thus this selection is done primarily as they want more money to spend on other things.
Australia is a wealthy and developed country, but this does not mean that ordinary people should have to pay extra for things they do not want to fund. Therefore, on the matter of improving the welfare of poultry, the costs should be covered by national fiscal expenditure, rather than being transferred to the living expenses of ordinary citizens.
Secondly, you mentioned that there are alternative products, but as far as I have seen in supermarkets like Woolworths (WWA) and Coles, the price of eggs has universally increased. Ordinary people do not have other options to maintain their original consumption standards. To achieve their former standard of consumption, they would need to spend additional time and effort searching for new supermarkets and new suppliers. This is also unfair to them, because they do not share the strong desire to improve the living conditions of chickens; they merely want to live a normal life.
Furthermore, the social issue of chicken welfare is not as intractable as other social problems, such as juvenile crime. Therefore, I do not believe that, in order to improve the welfare of chickens, many people who do not approve or agree with this investment should have to bear the cost or have their lives impacted.Phew we're still going eh. Ok……
Australia is a wealthy and developed country, but this does not mean that ordinary people should have to pay extra for things they do not want to fund.
Consumers do this already on all manner of things - so this is a moot & pointless comment.
Therefore, on the matter of improving the welfare of poultry, the costs should be covered by national fiscal expenditure, rather than being transferred to the living expenses of ordinary citizens.
Again this is simply NOT how anything in the economy currently works. Any number of things with any number of products that may or may not be thought as necessary by consumers are priced in and for all intents and purposes paid by them as the prices of products rise.
Secondly, you mentioned that there are alternative products, but as far as I have seen in supermarkets like Woolworths (WWA) and Coles, the price of eggs has universally increased.
My guy you are on a roll saying things that are the equivalent of 'In other news, grass is green' - 99.9% of products over the past few years have gone up as there's been significant global inflationary pressures.
Furthermore, the social issue of chicken welfare is not as intractable as other social problems, such as juvenile crime. Therefore, I do not believe that, in order to improve the welfare of chickens, many people who do not approve or agree with this investment should have to bear the cost or have their lives impacted.
This is called when someone is 'really reaching' to justify their argument. Lets just agree to disagree. :-)
That’s heaps cheap, but won’t offset the expense and hassle of having your car crashed into by Sunnybank drivers.
Why drive when the bus is 50c? Much easier!
For me, Bus is 5 min walk, then stops outside.Not if you know the sweet parking spots. The underground parking is one.
Just remember to check the expiry date carefully if happen to grab other clearance things.
hahha racism i get it ROFL!
caged eggs , no thanks
+1 same for myself, I'll save the few dollars extra on the rest of my shop to get something else.
Free-range eggs are the cause of regular mass chicken slaughter. Every time a bird-flu gets nearby - birds out on pasture get infected by wild birds - then the entire farm of hens is put to death.
If you don't like cage eggs, at least eat barn-laid - far more ethical than free-range.
?????
Being freerange is not 'the cause' of regular mass chicken slaughter, I get what you are saying but this is simply not true and grossly misleading when worded like this.Furthermore when Avian Flu outbreaks have occurred overseas, internally contained avian livestock have still been culled. I cannot find info on Australian policies for this but I would expect it would be similar.
All this aside it's a seriously questionable process of logic that one could use by saying,"Chickens farmed with access to outdoor spaces might be culled due to Avian Flu, therefore it's unethical to do that and consumers should only support 100% non-outdoors access chickens as it's 'more ethical'.
Caged eggs should long be a thing of the past.
Must be knock-offs . Coles and Woolworths are only selling genuine eggs, at least $5.80 per 700g. /s
