$1 at a Chinese food market buys about 10 eggs. $1 in an American supermarket buys about 3. Same dollar, same egg, different price. Sources: China: city market and supermarket egg prices ran about RMB 9-11 per kg in 2025 (Ministry of Agriculture retail monitoring); a 55-60g egg is roughly RMB 0.55, so $1 buys about 12 eggs, we quote 10 to stay conservative. USA: large grade-A eggs averaged roughly $3.50-4.00 per dozen in 2025 (BLS average retail price), about $0.30 each, so $1 buys about 3 eggs. Prices rounded to the nearest whole egg. #China #CostOfLiving #FoodPrices #EggPrices #Travel #EverydayChina
