Here in Russia we have big shortage of eggs. They are insanely expensive. 100 roubles for 10! Entire 1 dollar!

Excuse me, but Donald Trump never promised to make äggs cheaper for Americans.
Just eggs.
How is that going anyway?
Yea but we're talking American eggs here. They just cost more for some reason that we can't seem to find out why.
I think I’m more bothered by the fact that it’s 15 eggs rather than a dozen or 18. I’m used to seeing eggs in multiples of six. This is weirding me out.
They get even cheaper than this as well - this is on sale at Hemköp for the non-organic brand. If you look at Lidl for the same category, the regular price is approximately the same. To get lower you'd have to buy the 24-pack. If you get it on sale, then you're looking at basically the best price imaginable, probably somewhere below 2 SEK/egg.
non-organic brand
Mineral eggs, straight from caves.
Delicious! Though not quite as good as the meteorite eggs, straight from space.
This is interesting to see as someone who hasn't been able to afford to travel. One of the cool things since learning German that I have noticed is that I can read a lot of Swedish and Dutch. Those languages kind of look like a combination of English and German with alternative spelling to me now.
This is how knowing Russian/Ukrainian/Belarusian feels.
Yeah I would say there's a spectrum of intelligibility of English - Dutch - Swedish - German.
I noticed you excluded Danish.
All I see is a pile of Äggs. Eggs on the other hand, those fuckers are expensive.
:P
If there's anything I miss about reddit it's that if you were looking for a place to post something like this you could just go to r/eggs or r/eggprices and it would typically work
Well? Go and make it!
And be the only one to post in it
Such is niche a subreddit's fate.
I do feel the need to point out that the people posting the astronomical egg prices tend to live in the most expensive areas of the country, and don't do themselves any favors in terms of their choice of local grocery store.
Eggs are $4 for 12 at Aldi. While that's a little more than twice what they usually are, it isn't really the biggest deal in the grand scheme of things for an individual consumer.
