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?

If there's anything I miss about reddit it's that if you were looking for a place to post something like this you could just go to r/eggs or r/eggprices and it would typically work

Here in Russia we have big shortage of eggs. They are insanely expensive. 100 roubles for 10! Entire 1 dollar!

Buying eggs 15 at the times? Funny indeed.

Is that the American isle? Here in the us, you'll find the Asian isle, the Hispanic isle, the Curry isle etc depending on your neighborhood. Its encouraging us to shop there when there's an isle just for us.

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.

Why does America have a bird flu problem while other countries do not?

I do feel the need to point out that the people posting the astronomical egg prices tend to live in the most expensive areas of the country, and don't do themselves any favors in terms of their choice of local grocery store.

Eggs are $4 for 12 at Aldi. While that's a little more than twice what they usually are, it isn't really the biggest deal in the grand scheme of things for an individual consumer.

They get even cheaper than this as well - this is on sale at Hemköp for the non-organic brand. If you look at Lidl for the same category, the regular price is approximately the same. To get lower you'd have to buy the 24-pack. If you get it on sale, then you're looking at basically the best price imaginable, probably somewhere below 2 SEK/egg.

non-organic brand

Mineral eggs, straight from caves.

Delicious! Though not quite as good as the meteorite eggs, straight from space.

15? Wth is this? Insanity.

Eggs come in 6 or 12 packs. That's it.

The other day I saw a place with a pack of 20 for the first time and had to recheck in what planet I was.
