I have a clear plastic container that I got at Home Goods for around $6.  I like to be able to see how many eggs i have and it has holes for air flow.  Works well for me vs the cardboard containers.

I read long ago that storing eggs in their original grocery-store cartons was best for normal fridge storage to allow air to circulate around them and avoid dampness.

I do have a few L&L egg containers.  They're handy and protective  for storing and transporting prepared deviled eggs.

Some people might like the L&L type for holding small amounts of certain ingredients or freezing ice cubes..

NEED an egg container? Perhaps not, but it does protect the eggs better than the carton they came in. Cleaner too.

If anyone is interested -- I was just looking at Amz and they have many egg containers from which to choose.  One I saw will hold 40 eggs, I believe it had pull out trays and priced under $20.

Found a good reason to have egg containers on-hand...

Ordered 2 dozen eggs in our grocery order (we always have hard-boiled eggs on-hand for a quick and easy snack). Only 14 survived the trip.There was egg everywhere in the pressed cardboard-type cartons. Good thing I had an alternate egg container here at the house.

Because we eat a lot of eggs in our family we now buy the 60 egg cartons. After I arrive at home I move these to several 18 egg plastic containers from Amazon.

We originally bought plastic egg containers from a sports store for using when camping.  They protected the eggs from breaking & also went on our boat.  Since we no longer camp or go boating, the several that we had have been donated.  But they definitely had a purpose at the time.

I had always kept my eggs in the egg lock & lock container. Until my eggs suddenly developed mold on their shells. No old eggs either. Now I just use the container the eggs come in for storage. I'm doing a complete cleaning of my pantry and just gave away the lock & lock egg container. No use for it.

@ladychas  I had mold grow on eggs I stored in LnL containers.  So now they're stored without lids in either LnL or similar to what @JeanLouiseFinch shows in her post.

Mine did the same so I just use the bottom. They do mold. Maybe eggs are not meant to be kept airtight but will sell you one anyway.
