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?
Why are eggs so expensive in Sweden, not even fancy organic free range eggs?
R$25, or ~4 dollars for 30 eggs in Brazil
All I see is a pile of Äggs. Eggs on the other hand, those fuckers are expensive.
:P
Äggs eez bargain. Almost as good!
Ägg and egg is pronounced almost identically.
depends on who’s reading it
No idea how much money 35:-/st is, but apparently it's marked down from 42:95/st, so I'll take two please.
Is that IKEA font?
Yes
Yeah, the off brand is always cheaper
Not terribly off topic, but I've been wondering if cage free or free range has had an affect on the spread of bird flu. Our state banned cages long ago, but we still seem hit hard.
We have a local pultry ranch and last I heard they were hit pretty hard, but I think they are free range. I've also had a neighbor with a couple chickens in her backyard have to cull one. Oh, and one report of a cat dying. (It's really bad for pets)
We have quite a lot of rules and regulations in place for how chickens are allowed to be kept. If you're curious, Jordbruksverket has a guide on their website., assuming you're not Swedish here is a machine-translated version.
According to regulations on disease control, poultry kept for food production must be enclosed when they are outside. This also applies if you sell meat or eggs on a smaller scale.
You may only have your birds outside without enclosure if you do not sell meat or eggs from them.
I think this rule was put in place back when there was a bird flu outbreak a few years ago. My old principal used to keep chickens, but she stopped doing that after the outbreak because she felt like the rules around how chickens were allowed to be kept after that was too inhumane. Granted I think she said that you're not allowed to let them roam free at all so maybe she misunderstood, or maybe the law has been changed since.
The terms "cage free" and "free range" are near meaningless on an industrial scale. The chickens are still packed in as tightly as regulations allow.
As for smaller producers, I don't know. It sounds like bird flu is about as contagious as is possible.
What is that ":-" symbol next to the number? I thought they used "kr" as the symbol for their money?
It's short for 35:00, so the price is 35 kronor and 0 ören
: is an interesting separator that I would only think of for time
I'm just working off context here, can't really defend the Swedes. It seems a little unusual to me too.
But I can't complain too much, because there are plenty of weirdoes in my country who use single dots for time, which I find even worse. Especially because the dot is also often a decimal separator. So depending on context 9.25 can be 09:25 or 9 hours and 15 minutes.
they use :- instead of currency symbol because then you don't think of it as money, you are more likely to happily pay a bigger price
ägg!
