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?

15? Wth is this? Insanity.

Eggs come in 6 or 12 packs. That's it.

The other day I saw a place with a pack of 20 for the first time and had to recheck in what planet I was.

6-packs are available in the US, but it's mostly 12 and 18-packs. There's also the giant package, which must canonically be a "pallet" of eggs.

In Singapore, chicken eggs come in packs of 6, 10, 12 (always labelled as having two bonus eggs: 10 + 2), 15, and 30. Duck eggs come in packs of 6. Quail eggs come in cans (NFI how many they include).

It's the Swedish bakers dozen so you can eat 3 raw eggs + shells on the way home and still have a dozen eggs to put in the fridge. It takes three eggs to equal the calories found in a small donut which is why the bakers dozen eggs is 15 instead of 13.

Come to Japan: 1,2,4,6, and 10 are the common ones (10 is most common at supermarkets). They have flats as well at some stores which I'm guessing are 30 but I don't remember.

In a place where people often eat raw egg, freshness is important. Also, tiny kitchens
