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?
Yea but we’re talking American eggs here. They just cost more for some reason that we can’t seem to find out why.
I dunno, I saw some brown eggs in my Texas supermarket last week.
All those woke DEI chickens are leading to a genocide against wholesome, white, AMERICAN eggs.
Here in Russia we have big shortage of eggs. They are insanely expensive. 100 roubles for 10! Entire 1 dollar!
Buying eggs 15 at the times? Funny indeed.
Excuse me, but Donald Trump never promised to make äggs cheaper for Americans.
Just eggs.
How is that going anyway?
He was talking about human eggs.
Ah, in that case all he had to do was devalue women. Mission accomplished!
That makes eggs more expensive in comparasion.
Do libs really believe Trump is causing the egg prices, or are y’all just trying to help keep bird flu out of the public discussion?
No, we don’t think that Trump has the power to manipulate the prices like that. But his voters absolutely believed he would bring down grocery prices and specifically eggs. He also said that multiple times.
You’d have to ask them. I really believe Trump said he was going to lower the price of eggs. How’s that working out?
Why would I have to ask “them”? You’re right here standing on the claim.
Of course Trump can’t do anything to lower the price of food. Neither party is capable of doing that, because neither is willing to fight corporate grocers and farmers. But I notice both the libs & conservatives are working hand-in-hand to deny coverage to the bird flu outbreak. Putting the egg price on Trump just seems like your side’s version of pandemic denial in service of Big Ag.
Sorry, I am not a “lib” and you wanted to know what they thought. I cannot help you there.
And if you don’t want to be laughed at for not being able to keep your stupid pledges, don’t make stupid pledges.
What “side” am I on anyway? You seem to know a lot about me, so please inform me.
I dunno. I guess another ideology that’s comfortable with spreading Big Ag disinfo. Trying to also spin it into a Trump own implied lib.
You tell me. What political ideology is driving you to post nonsense?
So, making a shit post joke about how Trump pledged to bring down the cost of eggs, thus having his cult believe the prices of eggs were going to go down due to him, and they a currently rising, with no end in sight, because the president doesn’t control the price of eggs, is spreading AG prop and trying to cover up the fact that the bird flu is raising the prices?
You must have extremely long arms to be able to reach that far.
What political ideology is driving me to post nonsense in c/funny…
You know, I’ll have to ponder that one.
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.
non-organic brand
Mineral eggs, straight from caves.
Delicious! Though not quite as good as the meteorite eggs, straight from space.
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.
Jo, eg veit at det er en forskjell mellom krone og krona. Men det spiller jo ikke noe rolle. Eg har jo sagt at det er det eg har betalt og spesifisitet at eg snakker om norske kroner. Det er mange andre som har svart på samme måte.
En epäile yhtään ettetkö sä ymmärtäisi eroa kronen ja kronan välillä, mutta kun se ero on niin pieni ja ihmiset jotka ei oo Pohjolasta saattaa sekottaa ne, ni ajattelin painottaa sitä eroa, jotta enemmän jengiä oppii meidän (as in the Nordics) kulttuureista.
áh, ok. mun jáhkken ahte du kommentára lei čujuhuvvon munnje. mu meattáhus.
It might have been, I’m not infallible.
I’m just riding on the wave of possibility bro
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.
This is how knowing Russian/Ukrainian/Belarusian feels.
Yeah I would say there’s a spectrum of intelligibility of English - Dutch - Swedish - German.
I noticed you excluded Danish.
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.
I think I’m more bothered by the fact that it’s 15 eggs rather than a dozen or 18. I’m used to seeing eggs in multiples of six. This is weirding me out.
Boi, do I have an abomination for you
This seems inconvenient for retailers.
It takes up more space than the traditional cuboid
It wouldn’t if they’d make the sides flat. Hexagons pack nicely. Except the edges I guess.
Bonus egg
Bonus bysphenols A-Z
🤯
Metric eggs!!
Base-5 eggs
Based eggs.
This gave me a good laugh
Oh wow, their chickens don’t pop 6 at a time ehh.
/s
Common sizes in Sweden are 6, 12, 15 and 24.
No idea how 15 made it in there, it is what it is.
some do 10 as well
Ah yeah, right you are
They sell eggs in packages of 6, 10, 12 and 15 in Tesco here in the UK.
Only 15 confuses me. Why not make it an even number every time?
UK is a mess. Some things are measured in metric, some in imperial, and others are measured in stones and sticks and whatnot.
I haven’t thought about that, haven’t bought eggs for almost a decade so I generally don’t look at them. I think it’s a brand thing now that I looked at different store sites, some are 6, 12 or 24, others are 10, 15 or 30.
Shrinkflation is brutal.
I’m a weirdo that likes to make myself 4 eggs at a time. WHERE DO I GET THE LAST EGG??
Gotta buy 4 packs to even it out
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
Well? Go and make it!
And be the only one to post in it
Such is niche a subreddit’s fate.
/r/weirdeggs for pictures of odd shaped eggs. Very odd and specific subs
All I see is a pile of Äggs. Eggs on the other hand, those fuckers are expensive.
:P
The two dots above the A means they’re fancy!
Must be from one of those bird species with spotted eggs?
They’re from Österreich
Ostriches then, got it.
Ägg and egg is pronounced almost identically.
depends on who’s reading it
Äggs eez bargain. Almost as good!
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.
6 or 12? Wth is this? Insanity.
Eggs come in 10 packs. That’s it.
It’s the Swedish bakers dozen so you can eat 3 raw eggs + shells on the way home and still have a dozen eggs to put in the fridge. It takes three eggs to equal the calories found in a small donut which is why the bakers dozen eggs is 15 instead of 13.
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.
1 and 2? What is this, eggs for ants? 😂
In a place where people often eat raw egg, freshness is important. Also, tiny kitchens
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.
In Singapore, chicken eggs come in packs of 6, 10, 12 (always labelled as having two bonus eggs: 10 + 2), 15, and 30. Duck eggs come in packs of 6. Quail eggs come in cans (NFI how many they include).
In City Center Supermarket I can get 4 packs.
Now, that’s just sick.
R$25, or ~4 dollars for 30 eggs in Brazil
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
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
