I finally caved and bought a $15 eggkeeper after losing 3 cartons to broken yolks

For the longest time I thought those little plastic egg holders in the fridge door were just a waste of money. I mean, eggs come in their own carton, right? But last month I got sick of opening the fridge and finding a cracked egg or two from the carton sliding around. So I picked up one of those clear stackable trays for like $12 at the grocery store. Honest truth, it keeps the eggs from rolling into the deli drawer and getting smashed when I grab something else. Plus they stay colder than in the door because the temp is more steady on the middle shelf. I've only lost one egg since I started using it, and that was my fault for dropping it on the floor. Has anyone else tried one of those or do you still stick with the cardboard cartons?

Plus they stay colder than in the door" is the real reason I finally switched too. My eggs last way longer now and I haven't had a cracked yolk in months.

Honestly, same exact thing happened to me. I used to think those egg keepers were just another kitchen gadget that would end up in the back of a drawer. But after losing a whole carton to a cracked yolk mess, I grabbed one for like $10 at Target. @christopher_craig is totally right about the temp thing too. I put mine on the middle shelf now and my eggs don't smell like leftover onions anymore. Only downside is the tray takes up a little more space than I thought, but zero broken yolks so far.
