Eggs by pound sell better
Eggs priced by the pound
outsold those priced by the
dozen In a recent Kansas
study. The research project
was co-sponsorcd by
American Egg Board and
the Kansas Agricultural
Experiment Station.
In a matched-lot, con
trolled experiment in
Leavenworth, Kansas,
consumers were given a
choice between buying eggs
priced by the dozen or by the
pound. They preferred to
purchase eggs by pound over
the dozen in ratios of 3 to 2
and 2 to 1 for large and
medium eggs.
Over 1,500 consumers who
purchased eggs In the area
studied were interviewed for
their reactions. The factor
which most concerned them
was the price of eggs.
“Industry proponents cf
pricing eggs by the pound
believe this system will
make price-conscious
consumers more aware of

the value of eggs in terms of
protein value,” stated
Richard L. Kathc, President
of American Egg Board.
“They can compare price
per pound of eggs with price
per pound of other protein
foods (unit pricing)," he
noted.
About one-half of the
repeat purchasers of eggs
priced by the pound per
ferred this pricing method.
The main advantage was
that It allowed them to buy
the desired weight of eggs.
Two-thirds of the repeat
purchasers could see "no
disadvantage” to pricing by
the pound.
“the idea of pricing eggs
by the pound has been
discussed in industry circles
for years but was never tried
on a commercial scale,” said
Dr. Joe W. Koudele, K-State
agricultural economist who
directed the study. “Under
the present system of
grading eggs by weight but
Asthma program
set for January %
The Lancaster County
Lung Association announces
a new program for children
with asthma. The program,
for both the children and
their parents, will start on
Tuesday, January 13, 1976,
and will be held in the indoor
pool area of the Willow
Valley Motor Lodge on
Willow Street Pike. The
program will continue on
Tuesday evening from 7 to 9
p.m. for a seven - week
period.
The purpose of the
pricing eggs by the dozen,
egg producers are penalized
because eggs do not realize
their true weight value," he
explained. “For example,
eggs weighing just under 27
ounces a dozen • the
minimum weight for an
extra large egg - are
automatically sized as large
eggs. An egg producer
receives the same price for
these large eggs as eggs
weighing only 24 ounces per
dozen.”
Dr. Koudele dedicated the
study to Dr. L. A. “Tiny”
Wilhelm, who was vice
president of AEB at the time
of his death last November:
“Tiny’s strong interest in the
study on ‘Pricing Eggs by
the Pound and Selling by the
Dozen’ and encouragement
to undertake such a study
were a source of in
spiration.”
