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?

How is this funny?

!mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world or any of the other infuriating communities are probably better

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

Yes but in Putin's Russia the egg eats you.

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

What is that ":-" symbol next to the number? I thought they used "kr" as the symbol for their money?

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.

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

No idea how much money 35:-/st is, but apparently it's marked down from 42:95/st, so I'll take two please.

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

It's approximately 11 SEK to a dollar. Used to be less, but that was pre-pandemic.

Was basically the US price before bird flu.

[-] otto@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I’m almost 46, and I never remember a dozen or more eggs being that cheap.

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

Ohhh, siracha. My Edeka only has those really tiny scam-bottles, and only one type.
