£10 for 6 supermarket eggs!

We're on holiday in Norfolk, and needed some eggs. Stopped at a Shell garage for petrol and asked DH to nip into the Little Waitrose attached for a box of 6. He came out looking shell-shocked, having just spent £10 on a box of crappy supermarket quality eggs! Not lovely local eggs which I might have understood, but 6 of those bog standard Happy Egg Co ones! The idiot didn't get a receipt or I'd be fuming on the Waitrose twitter feed.

He also spent £4 on 2 pints of waitrose semi skim milk.

Is this normal for a Little Waitrose? It wasn't a motorway services, just a local Shell garage. Or has the cost of living crisis hit Norfolk particularly hard????

We find eating them works quite well.

You don't cook them first? Interesting.

I shop in all the supermarkets but my eggs and milk come from Waitrose, i dont pay any where near that amount. Holiday fleecing comes to mind.

Did you manage to get to the bottom of this uneggsplainable cost for eggs, OP?

The best eggs at Waitrose are no more than £4 for 6. Milk no more than £1.80. You've been mugged.
