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?

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

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

How is this funny?

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

Was basically the US price before bird flu.

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

3 for 15 isn't bad

We are at $6 for 12 and that is for the cheap eggs

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

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

The idea of the post is that they aren't expensive here. The past few weeks, seeing all the price of eggs in the US memes and then I see this at my local store. It's right by the entrence and a weekly deal, it seems consciously done, haha. Like "those silly Americans, well show that we don't have any egg problems here."

It's weird, there is no reason for eggs to be expensive. Eggs are ultra cheap to manufacture. You can do that anywhere and just need some kind of food because they can eat a lot of different things. It doesn't need precious metals or rare earth or patents or import raw materials - any country can just produce chickens and eggs easily.

So egg prices skyrocketing is either a fundamental dysfunction in a countries economy. Or maybe a political move to influence an election.

this picture raises so many questions
why is it in the middle of a corner, why is the box tilted so weird, why aren't they refrigerated, why are they in 15 packs, why is it ägg, how do you pronounce ägg, what is happening??

[-] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Smaller stores some times place box shelfs like that do to low amount of wall space and regular spalce.

Why the tilt sometimes do to space issues, sometimes someone moved it or the staff was in a hurry.

Why 15 , we also have 6,10,12,20 and 24, never really reflected on that.

Why are your eggs refrigerated?

Fun fact even though stores don't keep the eggs in the refrigerator most people do when we get home. I don't know why that is, either way on the matter.

How to pronounce ägg like egg but with ai from air instead of e.

What is happening eggs on sale at a relative normal price at a normal store.

Because of differing standards of bacteria

Also, are you really confused why a language with common roots with English has similar but different spelling? Did you know that we call children Barn (see bairn) or the old word for window is Vindöga ?

A newer loan word is Tejp for tape, and in my car I have a radio. Garage is the same word, but weather and väder are just almost
