That's $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.

Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?

This is interesting to see as someone who hasn't been able to afford to travel. One of the cool things since learning German that I have noticed is that I can read a lot of Swedish and Dutch. Those languages kind of look like a combination of English and German with alternative spelling to me now.

Yeah I would say there's a spectrum of intelligibility of English - Dutch - Swedish - German.

I noticed you excluded Danish.

This is how knowing Russian/Ukrainian/Belarusian feels.

Before English standardized, you could be in different parts of what is now england and hear 'egges' and 'eier' depending on which languages influenced things.
