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?
Excuse me, but Donald Trump never promised to make äggs cheaper for Americans.
Just eggs.
How is that going anyway?
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).
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.
Why are eggs so expensive in Sweden, not even fancy organic free range eggs?
Is $3 for 15 eggs expensive? I pay $3.50 for a dozen in the Netherlands
The price is in Swedish kroner its about $3.20 for 15 eggs.
Actually that's significantly cheaper than Norway rn. If it weren't for the price of fuel I'd be going on a road trip.
Organic outdoor eggs are about $0.50 an egg in Sweden near me. The eggs in the picture are free-range indoor and are less than $0.10 per egg.
I think everything is expensive in the Nordic countries
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.
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.
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.
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".
its actually pronounced almost identically
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
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.
Come to Japan: 1,2,4,6, and 10 are the common ones (10 is most common at supermarkets). They have flats as well at some stores which I'm guessing are 30 but I don't remember.
6-packs are available in the US, but it's mostly 12 and 18-packs. There's also the giant package, which must canonically be a "pallet" of eggs.
R$25, or ~4 dollars for 30 eggs in Brazil
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
