In case anyone was wondering, here's what I thought about buying the newly added 1 kg carton of Bio-Eggs from COOP. I was curious enough to see if it would be better value than the 10-egg carton. This was simply because it was impossible to compare them in the store. The 1 kg carton of Bio Eggs simply says it contains 1 kg of eggs, which is true. The other carton says it contains 10 eggs, each weighing at least 53 g. Unfortunately, I only had my average kitchen scales at home, so I couldn't get an exact weight measurement, but the result would be similar.

Additional note: as you couldn't fully see inside the 1 kg carton of eggs without opening it, you couldn't tell if one or the other was broken. As mentioned earlier, three of the twenty eggs were broken.

  1. COOP strikes again! they know how to make people believe they got a good deal 🤣

  2. You really think you would ever get a good deal at COOP?

    Think again.

  3. It’s not a discount – It’s a way of supporting the farmers by making smaller eggs tradeable.

    People buy eggs by weight – and larger eggs are usually more desired by customers.

    Largers eggs are layn by older hens.

    Younger hens lay smaller eggs that are more difficult to sell.

    So instead of selling packs of smaller eggs, they instead sell them by total weight.

  5. am i missing something or are you complaining about getting double the weight for about the same price?

  6. Honestly, I prefer to get the Free Range 53+g Import eggs than the Prix small non-free range Swiss eggs. They seem decent and pretty cheap. To me it’s either get the cheaper decent import option or go all out (local Hofladen supply)

  8. It’s pretty incredible what people spend time on.

  10. For a really useful statement, you should have calculated how many kg of eggs NET you get for the price. So without the shell. Comparing CHF per piece or pieces per kg doesn’t say much when the sizes are so different. (Smaller eggs = more shell per kg).

  11. Thanks for your commitment and transparency, that’s exactly why I still pay for K-Tipp, Saldo, and Beobachter: they actually test products for «quality» and uncover shady or hidden marketing strategies to protect consumers and put pressure on corporations..

  12. That’s why you check the price per egg, which they always put in, in addition to the range weight of the eggs.

  13. I wouldn’t mind buying the 1kg pack if they were packed more safely. This one, even if all the eggs are good, is going to have a few broken ones on the way home.

  14. Why dont you simply go to aligro ? Its cheaper for everything. Even with bio egg.

    Normal supermaket here are very expensive, even more coop, globus and manor.

    Migros its a little less.

    Aldi, liddle and denner cheaper one(knowing by people)

    And finally the best quality per price is aligros
