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?
R$25, or ~4 dollars for 30 eggs in Brazil

Here in Russia we have big shortage of eggs. They are insanely expensive. 100 roubles for 10! Entire 1 dollar!
How is this funny?
[email protected] or any of the other infuriating communities are probably better

ägg!
Was basically the US price before bird flu.
I’m almost 46, and I never remember a dozen or more eggs being that cheap.
I’m a decade younger, but until about 5 years ago we could get a dozen large eggs for $0.99 (caged). Probably highly dependent upon the area (urban/rural, quality of surrounding land, overall cost of living in relation to wages, etc.).
They are currently over $6/doz here. I’m not sure by how much as I haven’t bought since they were $2/doz., which has been years now.

It's about 5-6000 KRW/30 eggs here in Seoul, provided you go for the cheapest ones, so about $4 per 30.
Everything else is ridiculously expensive though
What is that ":-" symbol next to the number? I thought they used "kr" as the symbol for their money?

No idea how much money 35:-/st is, but apparently it's marked down from 42:95/st, so I'll take two please.
It's approximately 11 SEK to a dollar. Used to be less, but that was pre-pandemic.

Just found a receipt in my pocket from yesterday. The smallest shittiest eggs are 33.30 Norwegian Kroner for 12 at co-op xtra ($2.95).
Norwegian krone =/= Swedish krona
I mean 1 krone is 0.97 krona so it's not a huge difference but I'm sure Americans would point out if someone had been talking about US dollars and a person replied with a comment with, idk, Canadian dollars.
Sorry I'm just pedantic and krona and krone is easy to confuse probably, it's not like one of them is "the default" like USD when talking of dollars. Although krone and krona do have actually different words, but the difference isn't a massive one to be fair.

3 for 15 isn't bad
We are at $6 for 12 and that is for the cheap eggs
The weirdness of it all is that in my area the organic freerange eggs are now the cheapest by far, their prices haven't gone up, I assume they didn't lose chickens to bird flu

Ägg is not what I expected the Swedish word for egg to be.
Ä is the swedish way of writing ae: "aegg". Basically identical to the english pronunciation, but the vowel is a little higher in the mouth.
Apparently the English pronunciation is actually adopted from the norse word, instead of the older "Ei" germanic etymology. If English hadn't adopted the Norse pronunciation, it would be closer to "Ey".
