Another thing with eggs: the quality speaks for itself.
When I do scrambled I just use the eggs and a bit of pepper, nothing else. There is a notable difference in flavour when comparing supermarket free range to ones from the local farms round and about me. So if you can manage it do get them from a farm. Only a few days old, twice the size, half the cost, and if really good you'll get the occasional double yolkers which are just awesome. Farmers' markets in towns would be a good option also but you'll probably pay a premium.
