Sam’s Club’s New Eggs Are Bringing Easter Vibes To The Fall

It’s too early to think about Easter. It’s too early to think about Easter. I’m sorry for even introducing the subject here. Everyone has enough on their plates, between Halloween, Thanksgiving, and all manner of other festive events and days. And New Year’s Eve. And how to deal with your New Year’s hangover. It’s still months away! Why am I even bringing it up?!

Well, I’m doing so because Sam’s Club has just started stocking new eggs that feel tailor-made for Easter, and it got me thinking about why it’s done so at this point in the calendar. Whether you’re purchasing these for some out-of-season Spring joy, though, or just to use in an omelet, they seem to be a good choice. 

Sam’s Club Heirloom Eggs

This week, Sam’s Club has started stocking new Heirloom Eggs. Spotted by @samsclubfoodreview, these eggs are a real vision: Each tray has 18 pasture-raised grade A large eggs in brown, white, pale blue, and pale green, all naturally occurring. The latter two almost feel like they’ve been transported straight from an Easter basket: Their pastel tones already have me thinking of warmer weather and new buds appearing.

These eggs look way more expensive than they actually are, too. Each 18-count tray comes in at $6.94, a pretty good deal, and one that rivals Aldi’s pasture-raised eggs (although Aldi has the edge in terms of price; Sam’s Club, meanwhile, has the edge in terms of color). They’re definitely an immediate favorite with Sam’s Club customers, too: Several commenters on @samsclubfoodreview’s post have already said how pretty they are. They’re not wrong. 

What Are Heirloom Eggs? 

As Food Network explains, egg color is established by genetics, with the pigment coming from the chickens that lay them. These specific heritage breeds have often been bred specifically to maintain their eggs’ tones, and these breeds must have been established prior to the mid-20th century. While the color of the egg may not have a notable bearing on how it tastes, some people have said that heirloom eggs have a richer, more buttery flavor. They also have an undeniable aesthetic appeal and a cottage-y vibe to them; Martha Stewart, incidentally, has chickens that lay heirloom eggs.

For a lot of people, that aesthetic will be the main selling point. Others, though, might just want to get some pasture-raised eggs at a good price. No matter where you fall, Sam’s Club’s got ya covered for your breakfast with these.
