Eggs store very well when refrigerated and are naturally optimal in terms of physical volume. Buy eggs in bulk and store them in a large mixing bowl or other round container in your refrigerator.

Eggs store pretty poorly in the fridge because liquids transpire through the shell. Within a month your egg will be 20% air.

This is disturbing and not what I found with eggs at all - Are eggs somehow different in the US compared to the rest of the world?

Commercially, they wash the cuticle off the eggs in the US before they are sold. This means they have to be refrigerated.
