Phew, are you OK over there? For comparison in Germany it's 2€ for 10 eggs, or 2,40€ for cage free. Eggs from the farmer start at 3,50€. In my area anyway.
Jein. It's not as bad as OP makes it sound, and I've never seen a 10 let alone 12 organic eggs in Germany for 2€ but I also live in the city.
What you're looking at here look like organic (bio) eggs, likely from a very expensive bio-store. Typical prices for eggs in Denver for organic eggs are 7.49 for 12 or .62¢ a egg at a store comparable to REWE. - Non-bio eggs get down to 4.99 on sale for 12 or .41 an egg.
Here at my REWE in Köln organic eggs are 3.39 for 10 or .33 an egg. So they are actually only twice the price for organic which is due to the killing of millions of chickens because of bird flue.
Is the bottom image with or without sales tax? Usually in the US prices are shown without it (as it depends on state, county, etc), whereas in most EU countries and I'm assuming Germany as well, prices for consumer goods are generally shown with taxes included
Everywhere I've lived, most groceries aren't taxed, so what's showing would be the final price.
Things that might be taxed are things like pre-prepared food or soda.
They're fighting the bird flu
