If I have to, the substitute for eggs at breakfast is a bagel with
cream cheese.

 
Grin, I like your breakfast substitute.  I so rarely do cookies,
it's not worth working out a substitute and I haven't used eggs in
my bread making in a very long time.  Yes, some breads do use eggs,
just not my normal set.
 
The only sweets I do regularily enough to be on any radar here, is
apple pies to take advantage of my prolific trees.  No eggs in that
either <grin>

 
 
Bought some eggs this morning.  In the next few days I plan to back a
cake that will use six of them  52 cents each today for X-large.
 
Overall, still a cheap dessert.  I never totaled the cost, but
probably less than 50 cents a serving.  You can't buy anything good
that cheap.

This is true and you must be going a;; free range?  That or our eggs
are better priced?  Ours are 41cents.  They are coming down as expected
and I may be pulling from a more recent lower price.

I made bread today too.  It's my buttermilk set which costs more but we
like it.  I made two one pound loaves.  Cost to make both, 1.03 cents
(buttermilk has gone up).  Per lb loaf, 52cents (rounded up).

Plain water breads or ones with 1/4cup milk (Read cheap bread at store)
at 1lb are 2$ (or more).  Make them for 26cents or 2lbs for 52cents.
