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?

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.

I'm gonna be pedantic for just a sec cause I want to share my visualization with you:

Isle - small island

Aisle - row of shelves typically housing objects like groceries or books, etc.

That caused me to think about a small archipelago that could fit in a neighborhood that consisted of different ethnic or national peoples hawking foods. Like large swimming pools with floating stands manned by someone yelling "get your Twinkies here! Twinkies!"

I'm crying.

Ah, when pedanticism leads not to unnecessary eye rolling or hostility but hilarious imagery. Today will be a good day.
