Funny

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.

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.

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

R$25, or ~4 dollars for 30 eggs in Brazil

Ägg is not what I expected the Swedish word for egg to be.

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.

No idea how much money 35:-/st is, but apparently it's marked down from 42:95/st, so I'll take two please.

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

Is that IKEA font?

Why aren't the egss refrigerated?

It's weird, there is no reason for eggs to be expensive. Eggs are ultra cheap to manufacture. You can do that anywhere and just need some kind of food because they can eat a lot of different things. It doesn't need precious metals or rare earth or patents or import raw materials - any country can just produce chickens and eggs easily.

So egg prices skyrocketing is either a fundamental dysfunction in a countries economy. Or maybe a political move to influence an election.

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.
