WCDT New Year's Week 2012 (Jan. 2-6, 2091-95)
Near Lurker:
The trick is to open onto the produce section. To most people, fresh produce looks much more appealing than in their heads, so they put it out so you'll see it first when you're there for something else. They then put their top small-purchase sellers (baking staples and snack food, IIRC) either at the back-left or in the center aisles, where people will go through the most merchandise to find them.
Kugai:
Here I can buy Eggs by the Tray (2.5 Dozen), Extra Box (1.5 Dozen, basically a dozen Eggs with half a dozen thrown in for free), a standard dozen carton and a half dozen carton. There is also a carton of extra large (size 8 Eggs), but that only contains 10 Eggs.
We also have a choice of Battery, Caged or Free Range as well as Grain Fed.
Overkillengine:
I live in a rural area in the US, and if you know the right people you can get eggs in whatever quantity you want.

I can rarely go into a supermarket without buying an extra something or other, and I'm not female. They MANIPULATE YOUR MIND, man. They get in your head.

Towards other people I'm very generous, I like to give.... But I'm not really generous with myself so when I go to buy something... I just go and buy that something because I don't like spending money on something I didn't think of spending on.
THEY CAN'T CONTROL ME

Amen to that! When you understand that every aspect of the supermarket as a concept - including the placement of the products on the shop floor as well as the shelf height, the advertisements, discounts, two-for-one deals, muzak, and probably more that I don't even know of - has the sole purpose of getting you to spend more money than you were initially planning to, you're much less likely to buy things you don't need.
(Also, the most common sizes for boxes of eggs here are 2x3 and 2x5. Bulk sized cartons are 5x5. I keep a 2x5 box and then refill it with a 2x3 box once I'm down to 1 or 2 eggs.)
no one special:
