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?
Excuse me, but Donald Trump never promised to make äggs cheaper for Americans.
Just eggs.
How is that going anyway?
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).
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.
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.
Yeah I would say there’s a spectrum of intelligibility of English - Dutch - Swedish - German.
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.
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.
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.
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
/r/weirdeggs for pictures of odd shaped eggs. Very odd and specific subs
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.
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?
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
Boi, do I have an abomination for you
Bonus egg

This seems inconvenient for retailers.
It takes up more space than the traditional cuboid
🤯
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
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
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.
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
Why are eggs so expensive in Sweden, not even fancy organic free range eggs?
Is $3 for 15 eggs expensive? I pay $3.50 for a dozen in the Netherlands
Organic outdoor eggs are about $0.50 an egg in Sweden near me. The eggs in the picture are free-range indoor and are less than $0.10 per egg.
I think everything is expensive in the Nordic countries
The price is in Swedish kroner its about $3.20 for 15 eggs.
Actually that’s significantly cheaper than Norway rn. If it weren’t for the price of fuel I’d be going on a road trip.
Ok after converting from GBP its not quite as overpriced as I first thought on seeing it.
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
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
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.
It’s approximately 11 SEK to a dollar. Used to be less, but that was pre-pandemic.
Is that IKEA font?
Yes
