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?
It's short for 35:00, so the price is 35 kronor and 0 ören
: is an interesting separator that I would only think of for time
i've made a post about his before, but it sort of used to be an öre separator. it's just that people have forgotten, so now you get stuff like "23,50:-"
I'm just working off context here, can't really defend the Swedes. It seems a little unusual to me too.
But I can't complain too much, because there are plenty of weirdoes in my country who use single dots for time, which I find even worse. Especially because the dot is also often a decimal separator. So depending on context 9.25 can be 09:25 or 9 hours and 15 minutes.
I like to keep things simple and don't use any separator at all for time.
they use :- instead of currency symbol because then you don't think of it as money, you are more likely to happily pay a bigger price
Ah that makes sense. Like the other guy said that just makes me think of time lol.
