Eggs have famously short shelf life, even in the refrigerator. They’re not going to last more than a month if you’re lucky. The egg cartons they’re sold in are already the most optimized way to store them. Moving them into something else doesn’t make any sense.

I'd call a month in the fridge a pretty long shelf life. An open container of chicken stock barely lasts a week.

I wonder if that's just the US (because they wash off the coating) or everywhere. Out of habit, I still put eggs I buy in Italy in the refrigerator even though they are stored at room temperature at the store.
