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?

this picture raises so many questions
why is it in the middle of a corner, why is the box tilted so weird, why aren't they refrigerated, why are they in 15 packs, why is it ägg, how do you pronounce ägg, what is happening??
Europe doesn't refridgerate eggs, you don't have to when you don't wash them. It's somewhere accessible because it is a sale for them.
People say this, but I still don’t believe it.
And no, that’s not just because I’m an American and love refrigeration. I’ve stayed in Mexico for extended periods and they do the same shit where eggs are left out at the stores.
And every time I’m down there, I play Russian roulette with fucking eggs. Making hotcakes? Crack every egg into a seperate bowl one at a time before adding to the batter, because 1 in 10 are fucking rancid. Making breakfast? Cook eggs one at a time because, again, it’s rancid egg roulette and I’d rather not throw out 2 perfectly good eggs because one is totally fucked.
And yes I know the trick of checking if they float in water, but that means I also have to waste water in a desert. I’d rather just use a separate bowl.
Just because you don’t have to refrigerate something right away doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. My eggs in America last for weeks in the fridge, and I never have to worry about ruining an entire cake or dish because I cracked a bomb of rancid shit into it.
My eggs in Europe last for weeks without refridgirating them. I never cracked a rancid egg in my life. They're all fresh and "work as intended".
Don't know about Mexico, but i've never had a rotten egg in a fresh carton in Switzerland.
I start doing the swim test when my eggs are 2 weeks over the indicated minimum shelf life, and they are usually only standing up, not swimming yet.
Exactly. I only recently started experiencing rotten eggs and it's mostly because I have them at home and forget they exist and 3 months later I go and try and they are bad.
