  1. Is the dollar that low these days? Because eggs are 50 cents or 6 francs for a dozen.

  2. tbh I prefer to pay a higher price for the knowledge that our chicken are not completely miserable. heck, you can see them flauntering around, having sun and rain shelter while just being outside

  3. I don’t understand the whole thing, what is so special about the eggs

  4. Something feels not right – the Migros price for 10 eggs is 5.30CHF (Swiss eggs M), that’s 0.53CHF for one, that makes it 6.36CHF for a “dozen”…

  5. Would be more interesting to compare to average income. Absolute prices are pretty meaningless.

    As others have pointed out, animal welfare is also a huge factor.

  6. I only buy eggs if the chickens are treated well. So I buy organic ones that have that symbol about chicken wellness or something. Double the price of the usual ones but worth it.

  7. I live in a village, I rarely pay for eggs.

    Both my neighbors have chickens and I constantly get more eggs from them than I can eat so even my dog gets a hard boiled egg every second day.

    (Obviously they get other things from me in return all the time as well.)

  8. Just checked on the migros page. You can buy 12 eggs for $5.30, and those are still swiss free range eggs. Migros is probably not even the cheapest seller. 

  9. Buying quality prix from coop so it seems a bit cheaper than this chart. Looks they chose bio eggs for Switzerland.

  10. You can get 15 prix Garantie eggs for 4.25 so take this data with a pinch of salt (or aromat)

  11. One of the things that I really like here is the quality of the eggs.

    Yes, it’s pricey, but when I buy directly at the farm, they’re absolutely delicious.

    It’s the same for milk.

  12. never seen eggs packs with 10 inside over 3€/3.38$ in germany. Its more to 2€.

  13. All others are eggs, and Switzerland is the penis

  14. That’s because the farmers have to buy them from the chickens.

  15. That price isn’t wrong. But you can buy prix garantie eggs for 20-30% less than that.

  16. what is it, the average price of all available product? Sounds a bit skewed towards elite versions, and I don’t think options like Globus should enter these statistics. I buy large packs of free range eggs at Coop or Migro and they are nowhere as expensive as it appears in this plot. It would be more interesting either to trim the upper tails of the distribution, or to compare the cheapest options in order to understand what’s the minimum amount of money needed to provide eggs in your house.

  17. I only buy eggs where they leave rooster chicks alive. I will not support the holocaust

  18. I paid almost as much for eggs in Germany (4 euros for 6) than I do in Switzerland (7 francs for 10) because I refuse to buy whatever shit chicken treatment eggs you get for 3.50 a dozen in Germany. But also, this stat seems weird, quick search gave me 15 eggs being sold for 4.25 francs (around 5 dollars) if you go for a cheap prize.

  19. just cam back from aldi paying 2.80 for 10 eggs. so 7usd is bit off

  20. I don’t know where you live guys but here in Bern is 4.25 chf for 15 eggs

  21. In Spain we pay 2.80 euros a dozen, and in Switzerland you can find 10 for 2.8 CHF in Aldi, we pay almost the same with a 1500 euros salary
