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?

It's about 5-6000 KRW/30 eggs here in Seoul, provided you go for the cheapest ones, so about $4 per 30.

Everything else is ridiculously expensive though

No idea how much money 35:-/st is, but apparently it's marked down from 42:95/st, so I'll take two please.

Ägg is not what I expected the Swedish word for egg to be.

How is this funny?

[email protected] or any of the other infuriating communities are probably better

What is that ":-" symbol next to the number? I thought they used "kr" as the symbol for their money?

Yeah, the off brand is always cheaper

Was basically the US price before bird flu.

I’m almost 46, and I never remember a dozen or more eggs being that cheap.

I’m a decade younger, but until about 5 years ago we could get a dozen large eggs for $0.99 (caged). Probably highly dependent upon the area (urban/rural, quality of surrounding land, overall cost of living in relation to wages, etc.).

They are currently over $6/doz here. I’m not sure by how much as I haven’t bought since they were $2/doz., which has been years now.

Ohhh, siracha. My Edeka only has those really tiny scam-bottles, and only one type.

[–] MutilationWave 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Do they have any vastly superior hot sauces for sale?

Sorry I'm being a dick but I really don't get the Sriracha love. Now crispy chili oil from the same company, hell yeah.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Well, it's hot, but not too hot. As in, easy to portion. Apart from that, I could also use Tabasco, Jalapenos or any other off or onbrand hot sauce. Except those aren't as easy to portion.

Why aren't the egss refrigerated?
