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?

Yea but we're talking American eggs here. They just cost more for some reason that we can't seem to find out why.
American eggs are refrigerated so therefore they have a much shorter shelf life.
sweden also refrigerates their eggs.
golly gee what could it be...

All very good points. But there was an acute shortage of eggs in Norway a few months ago and they just shipped them in from Denmark. But they kept the prices high even after the shortage was resolved. Malignant capitalism has a far greater share of the responsibility.
Valid, there's far too little oversight on price gouging and profiteering and I think coupled with a major pandemic, the penalties should be severe for anyone caught engaging in them.
I dunno, I saw some brown eggs in my Texas supermarket last week.
All those woke DEI chickens are leading to a genocide against wholesome, white, AMERICAN eggs.
Goddamn you DEI!!! 😂
