Mercifully, we in Canada are still being spared some of the more outré
concessions to "korn-venience". I prefer to hard boil my own eggs.
Most hard boiled eggs I encounter from time to time are overcooked.

Already peeled? How on earth do they package them up for you to take them
home? I can sort of see if they were in the shells, put them back in the
egg carton. Peeled? Even hard boiled eggs are wobbly. Hmmmmm.

I wonder if that's how they can sell off expiring eggs to unwary

Andy, they're on sale at Acme. Sauder's Fresh Hard Cooked
Peeled Eggs.

And, no, I don't think it's a way to sell old eggs. (laugh)

Of course. I don't envision a scenario where I'd buy them that
way. I wouldn't be surprised if seniors find them handy.

I have to confess that if I was planning on making a bunch of devilled
eggs I might consider buying boiled and shelled eggs. The only time I
make them is for party buffet type things where I am doing a lot of
other stuff. Boiling them is easy enough, but then they have to cool
off, which takes some time, and then there is the big chore of peeling
them. That's 3/4 of the work of making them.

I don't eat a lot of eggs but my wife does. If she is boiling eggs for
breakfast she often adds a few extra eggs and leaves them in to hard
cook. Then she has some already done for lunch or for breakfast the
next day.

LOL Do they say how old these peeled eggs are? I still can't figure out
how they'd package them to take away from the supermarket.

The only place I see fresh peeled hard boiled eggs is at my super market's

nancy,

I checked the on-line Acme. 10-count for $2.89??? Not a sale, when a
"normal" (I can't believe I have to make the distinction) dozen large
eggs are $0.99.

I checked your circular, it's on sale there for $2.50, too. Rather,
2 for $5. It's definitely not a price thing, you are, of course, paying
for convenience. As usual.

4. How long will an egg keep?
Fresh shell eggs can be kept refrigerated in their carton for at least
4 - 5 weeks beyond the pack date. Quality losses should be
insignificant if the eggs are refrigerated as soon as possible after
purchase from a refrigerated case.

Hard cooked eggs should be kept in the refrigerator for up to one week.

---

But once peeled hard cooked eggs shouldn't be kept more than 48 hours
(refrigerated), unless processed for storage, ie. pickling.

The elderly is the least likely segment of society to purchase
pre-cooked hard eggs, especially not at more than twice the price of
fresh eggs... the elderly are generally the most frugal segment of
society, most have limited resources and those with lots of disposable
income are typically even more frugal, that's how they acquired so much
disposable income... and are the least likely to look to dispose of it.
My observation has been that the elderly are those who buy their eggs
by the half dozen, they don't typically consume eggs are a rate that
they can use a whole dozen before they spoil.

The elderly are not who the prepared foods marketers target.

I see the old people shopping. They can't even read labels, they ask
for help all the time. The shopping alone is difficult for them,
physically.
They buy prepared dinners, I see what they are buying. Rotisserie
chickens, they are a biggie. I could definitely see why they would not
want to boil eggs.

My parents were pretty frugal. They grew up in the depression. They made a
lot of sacrifices to raise four boys and were always very generous to us, but
very frugal when it came to themselves. Both grew up on home cooked food.
They rarely served us prepared foods and have not changed habits.

I am a lot more careful shopping now than I used to be. I used to go shopping
every week and if something looked good or I thought I might need it
sometime, I threw it in the card. When I paid my grocery bill I I sometimes
thought to myself that it was a big one. But it wasn't a problem. My wife
and I were both working and making decent money. We both took early
retirement. Our pensions half what our salaries used to be. While I no
longer lose money off every check to union dues, employment insurance,
pension fund, and my income tax is a lot lower, I still have all those
regular monthly expenses. I have cut back on a lot of things. That extra
income from working accounted for a lot of disposable income.




When we retired our gross incomes dropped in half. are still monthly costs
to deal with, electricity, heating oil, taxes, all of which are going up a
lot, telephone, satellite dish etc.

It's a trade-off. You took early retirement, so you opted for less
money.

Okay, got all that... but your point? Please connect to the prepared
food thingie, do you or don't you.

My parents were of the depression mentality too... lots of that era
were... was a very difficult/frightful life experience. I have a lot
of their spending habits with the small stuff but I absolutely refuse
to do without the biggies that give me personal joy... I will buy the
store brand sugar to save 20¢ but if I buy say a TV, a car, a tractor,
a PC, price is no object, has to be top of the line, best of the best.
About my least tolerable personality trait is cheapness... can't stand
to be around people who are always whining about money, and don't get
me started on schnorrers. Actually those who view themselves as cheap
in reality are greedy... think about it.... I can understand and accept
frugal (not wasteful) but not avarice. When you deprive yourself
you're frugal, but when in your quest to be frugal you deprive others
you're greedy.... in other words if you take but don't give you're a
greedy *******... and there are never ever extenuating
circumstances.... if you are not going to recipricate (for whatever
reason) don't take.

I hate schnorrers... the greedy *******s.

It works out if you die young...

Mom calculated that if she took early retirement, she'd be 78 before the
"loss" broke even.

She died at age 68.

Unfortunately. :-(

Sorry about your mom, that's a huge loss. My mother was 72 when
she died.


I guess I could see early retirement if I got sick or disabled,
or did not love my work, but otherwise ... no way.

Retirement sounds like hell to me, particularly if you have to
pinch pennies. I will work until I can't.

My local grocery store sells rotisserie chickens for LESS than they sell raw
chickens. I'm guessing it's because the rotisserie chickens are made from
chickens which were at their sell-by date.

Convenience overtakes common sense. Witness bottled water, designer
salt, and now, hard boiled eggs. Everybody will be breathing twice
purified air in a bottle at home as soon as someone figures out how to
market it.

Could be.

Almost everything they prepare at the store, or season and
put in the case for you to take home to cook, is exactly
that: food that's hit its pull-by date and needs to be
sold or discarded.

They know if you're buying fresh you're buying the
freshest item in the case, so they have to do something
to differentiate the least-fresh or it will never move.

A sprinkle of paprika, a dunk in the deep-fryer, 12 minutes
in a pan of boiling water, and voila! "Ready to eat/cook/
fwow up."

Several ways.

I've seen them just stuffed into a heavy-duty ziploc type
bag and labeled. Or put into a clear plastic egg carton.
Or in jars.

Don't recall seeing them unpeeled.

Then there are the ones in the Asian markets.
Thousand-year eggs, and what not.

They aren't made by the store. It's a packaged product.

The term, at least for peeled and cooked eggs, is "value added

LOL! I keep trying to figure out who the target market is. I think of
my late MIL. It's something she might do. She wouldn't want a dozen
eggs (raw) sitting around and wouldn't want to hard-cook two of them --
so she might well just buy two already cooked.

While I agree about the other things, I think bottled water
is a great idea -- we keep a case of it in our garage in case
of emergencies. Then, about a year before the "use by" date,
we drink it up and buy more. Or are you talking about the
fashionable stuff like "Evian" or "Perrier"? Those do strike
me as marketing ploys...

I gotta admit, they have a point he

I kept getting green eggs until you, Nancy, told me I was simply
overcooking them and taught me how to do it right. :-)

The flavored ones above these (on the site) look tasty, I miss

I've found that putting the eggs in the pot first, then cold water, brining
to a boil, removing from heat and covering for 20 minutes produces perfect
hard boiled eggs, no greeny stuff, just fluffy yellows and perfectly done
whites.
