    The cheapest I can find atm are 2.1 euros for a 12 pack of store brand eggs, 0.175 per egg. Eu.

    Edit to add: imo the only relevant comparison is comparing the cheapest with the cheapest available chicken eggs. If you add in branding, location, … Then you’re no longer comparing eggs, but rather cost of living & marketing.

    2nd edit: perchery, medium size.

      The cheapest available option can differ a lot due to different animal welfare regulations. Caged eggs are the cheapest but they already are or will soon be unavailable in Europe and a few states in America.

      The second cheapest is perchery eggs, which is probably available everywhere, so it’d be better fora direct comparison even if the specific regulations differ somewhat.

        Caged is already no longer available where I live, so the price I gave is for perchery eggs, medium sized. I would have added that it was for perchery, but I only learned that word 5 minutes ago from your post ;). In the last few years when caged eggs were available, a 6 pack of perchery eggs usually was the same or almost the same price as caged. I remember the price difference being so insignificant that I always bought perchery.

        But there’s bound to be so many regulatory differences, that probably even the perchery label will have different rules. And some of those labels are pretty empty. So imo for a simple comparison, it’s still best to just compare cheapest with cheapest of the same size and ignore labelling/marketing.
