You can actually dip your eggs in mineral oil to recoat them! Then you can leave them out refrigerated just fine.

And turn the carton upside down every week or so, and you can keep them for 6 months or so ( I have heard)

This is interesting, because I don't understand why turning eggs would increase their shelf life. Does anyone know if this is actually works, and why?

I haven't tried, but supposedly the yolk slowly moves to the bottom. Soon after it touches the inside of the shell, it's game over. Inverting the eggs regularly keeps the yolks in the middle.

This is cool. I go through about 30 eggs a week though, so normal shelf life is pretty good for me.
