I buy the egg flats on ebay. If you search a bit you can find tons for a good price.

Aha....that was the key... search for egg flats on ebay instead of egg crate =\. Egg crate was just getting me the plastic stuff!

Yeah I learned that when I was searching for them. It's all about what terminology you use.

also try a bakery/ restaurant - they will sometimes give them away for free

Yes, restaurants and bakery's, as well as grocery stores (not egg flats, but pulp fruit thingies that are like big egg flats), often have them for free if you ask. Otherwise, eBay and bug/feeder sellers tend to have them.

As I write this, there is a guy selling 80 egg flats for $11.00.
Of coarse, the cheapest shipping option is $12.00!

I agree with finding the best deal from eBay.

Unless U can find them 4 free.

80 flats would last me a very long time

WHen i need egg flats, i just go buy 18 eggs, and make hard boiled eggs, then use the flats from there.

dual use.

The cafeteria at work saves them for me and I get a 3 ft tall stack at the end of the week. They are usually very clean but I just chuck the ones that have any broken egg on them. This has been working great for several years and I never have to buy egg flats.
