Eggs productions seem to be catching up, and prices are softening. Clearance prices are even better, eg. 18x mixed grade FR for $5, 18x size 7 FR for $6.85, 6x size 7 FR for $1.69, etc.

Where are you getting those prices (18x mixed grade FR for $5, 18x size 7 FR for $6.85, 6x size 7 FR for $1.69) ?

All over Auckland, depending on where I'm at for work. I've posted the 18x for $5 deal before, but being at clearance prices, they're usually short dated

Size 5 are very small though. I think they had bigger ones for 20 for $10 which is still a great price

nzmax is aptly named for this comment - well done.
I am no eggpert, but I assume a year 1 hen produces size 5, which I find less watery hence tastier. Most recipes work with size 6 but.- 0

Most of these are short dated stock. Some boxes are best before 09/09… YMMV

In my experience eggs last for ages past the best before if you keep the in the fridge - and it's easy to tell whether they are off or not (float test and or smell).

Absolutely - its amazing how many people throw out food past the 'Best Before' date, and don't engage their brain for the two seconds it takes to understand what 'Best Before' is actually telling you.
I've only ever found one bad egg in my entire life, and as you say, there will be no doubt in anyone's mind it's bad when you smell that smell!

Yup - though I have adopted the habit of breaking eggs into a separate bowl rather than straight into the cake mix (due to a past disaster!).

I do that too :-)
The chances might be extremely low, but the downside feels significant, especially if I didn't have enough of the other ingredients to start over, and I'd have to go to the shops. I'm too lazy for that!

These prices are better than pre pandemic.

Not quite - pre-pandemic, I almost never paid more than 25c per egg at PNS.
I usually bought a couple of trays, and that saw us through until the next 25c sale.

With the increase in minimum wage since then the purchasing power is higher now.

You make multiple comments claiming that eggs are now cheaper than pre-pandemic?

Anything less than five is normally used in manufacturing I believe, but I guess you might see them at farmshops if you look / ask?

Pretty sure they're just this months specials as most eggs are on special until the end of the month.

A lot of retailers were selling the 30s for $10 this week, wonder what happened
