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?

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 about the same age and I distinctly remember $1.99/doz was standard for a while.
Check out this chart, things only went crazy in 2022 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000708111
Sure, but not $.79 for 15
Where are you getting that price from? OP says 35sk/15 is about $3/15.
Looks like I misread the sign
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.
