Most people don't have 1.000.000 Euro to spend each month. If you are here to brag about your wealth it makes you sound even more like a douchbag.

Okay, you caught me, I didn't do the math. If you make minimum wage in America, that's $1160/month gross. An egg costs on average 50 cents. So a single broken egg works out to 0.04% of their monthly budget. I don't see a broken egg much, less than once a year, so maybe it worth dividing that number by 12.

Subtract rent, bills, gas, savings for maintenance, etc.
Your food budget is much smaller than $1160/month, so why not take <10 seconds to make sure you aren't overpaying?
Plus it's just annoying having to go back to the store sooner because you have less eggs than you needed.
