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

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.

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

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??
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.
Thanks, you just made me realise I used the same vowel in "air" and "egg" and it makes me uncomfortable.
We do the same re: fridge in Australia, although stores are increasingly moving them to fridges recently.
My speculation is supermarkets maximise for cost, homes maximise for longevity.
Alternatively, homes tend to get hotter than supermarkets.

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
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.

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.
