I don’t know about the other countries, but for Switzerland it’s fairly accurate – a bit varying of course, dependent on the egg size and which type of livestock farming
Import eggs are around 15 eggs per 4.25 CHF right now. A 10 egg pack of free range Swiss eggs is around 6.20. Super fancy bio Swiss eggs are 8.40 per 10 eggs.
You can buy eggs for that price, but that’s Swiss free-range, imported are cheaper.
50 Rappen an egg seems about right… at least from my “price feeling”.
Might be totally off tho.
They usually come in packs of 10, from what I’ve seen. And if they’re Swiss eggs there are standards for the animals which may make the price higher. But they’re SO much better here compared to the eggs I used to buy when I lived in the US. It’s still a very expensive place, though.
We also sell the most expensive Big Mac at McDonald’s
They are around 3 USD in Portugal. More expensive than in the UK, but 1/4 of the salaries 🙂
I get my eggs delivered by a farmer and pay 7.- for 10 eggs. And I‘d pay them more
The cost listed for the US is an inflated price, likely based on recent increases, that have now gone back down. I would say average price for a dozen eggs in the United States is $3. But I can regularly get a dozen for $2.50 USD or less (Chicago).
A 12 pack of eggs in Canada costs 6.99$ at my local grocery store
Bio eggs or Freilandeier are possibliy the only things I look for how they are labeled when I’m buying them and I don’t mind paying a little more.
Immagine working for 4.5 hours in order to afford a dozen eggs in pakistan.
dont seem right to me, maybe some fancy bio eggs can cost this price
We should look how much it takes to produce eggs in Switzerland. Also if the farmers earn enough. Before we compare with other countries
What is a “regular” egg? I usually buy a ten pack, local Freiland, IP-Suisse, 10 for like 5.20 at Migros. You can also go lower and higher in price. 7.70 for 10, or 4.95 for 15 imported.
yep
Yeahh that’s nearly what I pay the farmer around the corner 😀
and now checkout:
who lays the eggs in each country? 🙂
Switzerland is the most expensive country to buy *anything* in.
Yeah.
I don’t think even twice about spending $20 for McDonald’s or KFC.
Why?
Because I can afford it…even with a simple job.
Coop prix garantie 15 pack is 4.25, so 3.36 for a 12 pack. While being the cheapest so least ethical, them being “élevage au sol” is probably still a bit less dystopian than the American factory farms. So not the most expensive in the world no.
I bought 12 free range eggs for CHF 6.20 today.
There are big eggs and small eggs… It’s a bit hard to compare. My local farmer specialises in egg production, bio and free range, large eggs, sometimes still warm when I get them: 5 CHF for 6 and happy to pay that.
Swiss eggs have a kind of high bio standard. Only foreign eggs are cheaper than that. But the quality of life for foreign chicken is really bad.

Well I can get 15 eggs for 4.95 [here](https://www.migros.ch/fr/product/196520001500) at the supermarket, so about 4frs for 12. Granted they are imported eggs.
12 free range eggs which are not imported would cost about 6frs [right here](https://www.migros.ch/fr/product/196025001000).

We’ve topped the Economist’s [Big Mac Index](https://www.economist.com/big-mac-index) pretty much since its inception, and we regularly distinguish ourselves as the [Most Expensive Country on Earth](https://www.thelocal.ch/20200204/switzerland-officially-the-most-expensive-country-in-the-world) (as do Monaco and the Cayman Islands).
Fret not, though, adjusted for buying power, the prices don’t look quite so steep.
Our [purchasing power index](https://www.numbeo.com/quality-of-life/rankings_by_country.jsp?title=2022-mid&displayColumn=1) is at 115 give or take (we head those global charts, too), so taking purchasing power into account, our eggs are actually cheaper for us than yours are to you in the US.
Now do it as a percent of median weekly income
Yeah.
