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?

3 for 15 isn't bad

We are at $6 for 12 and that is for the cheap eggs

The idea of the post is that they aren't expensive here. The past few weeks, seeing all the price of eggs in the US memes and then I see this at my local store. It's right by the entrence and a weekly deal, it seems consciously done, haha. Like "those silly Americans, well show that we don't have any egg problems here."

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ä is the swedish way of writing ae: "aegg". Basically identical to the english pronunciation, but the vowel is a little higher in the mouth.

Apparently the English pronunciation is actually adopted from the norse word, instead of the older "Ei" germanic etymology. If English hadn't adopted the Norse pronunciation, it would be closer to "Ey".
