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?

Ohhh, siracha. My Edeka only has those really tiny scam-bottles, and only one type.

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

its actually pronounced almost identically

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".

3 for 15 isn't bad

We are at $6 for 12 and that is for the cheap eggs

Yea but we're talking American eggs here. They just cost more for some reason that we can't seem to find out why.
