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?

They sell eggs in packages of 6, 10, 12 and 15 in Tesco here in the UK.

Only 15 confuses me. Why not make it an even number every time?

UK is a mess. Some things are measured in metric, some in imperial, and others are measured in stones and sticks and whatnot.

Why 10 and 12? Just pick one...

At least those are even numbers. 15 doesn't even make sense to me from a packaging perspective. I would think a square 4x4 carton of 16 would be more efficient to pack in a truck than a 3x5 carton of 15.

Why? We generally get 3x6 or 4x6 cartons in my area, which aren't too different from 3x5 dimension-wise. Longer cartons are better IMO since they make better use of fridge space. I would hate a 4x4 carton BTW.
