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?

Do you do the same with the word leg? This is typical in Ohio or another part of Midwest US.
I say egg. People in Ohio say ayyyg and layyyg, drawing out the vowel. Do you do this as well?
The sound is longer in "air" than "egg" and "leg". Egg and leg are perfect rhymes for me
How do you pronounce the word oil? Where I live it is commonly oool. An oil well is an oool wale. This is more of a boomer and up thing.
My grandpa, instead of saying 'Do you want to fish by that bush?' he would say 'Yaunna feesh by that boosh?'
Sorry I just love accents, language drift, linguistics in general. And I still haven't learned diacritics
Some people postulate that the pre boomer people of Appalachia, and specifically West Virginia, were pronouncing words closer to the "proper" British English of the 1600s and 1700s. They moved into the mountains and became isolated with low population and few outsiders. This insular culture preserved the language. Whereas British people who stayed in Britain were exposed to different languages and pronunciations which caused language drift.
I guess "oyul"? I can't really describe that first sound, maybe a shortened "or" as in "horse" (non-rhotic). The second vowel I've represented with a "u" is a schwa.
I would love to tell you, but I have no idea how to convey that in text
