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?

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.
