If you’re visiting Costco or Trader Joe’s to buy your eggs, there’s something you should know. They have decided to address the latest trend: egg hoarding.
Apparently, some people are buying more than a few dozen eggs at a time. This means that people like you and me can’t find eggs so that we can make a nice breakfast.
Egg Supplies: Status

The bird flu has made it harder to get eggs around the country. When there’s low supply and high demand, prices go up. That’s why you’re seeing a carton of a dozen Grade A large eggs costing anywhere between $4 and $12, depending on where you live. Even with the high prices, many stores are selling out the moment that they stock the shelves.
Plenty of stores have posted signs about their shortages. And even more have empty shelves. You can see photos and videos about it all over social media.
What Stores Are Doing
Costco, Trader Joe’s, and even Kroger have decided it’s time to do something about the egg hoarding. They’re limiting the number of cartons that people can buy.
According to Today, a Trader Joe’s spokesperson said that, “We are currently limiting egg purchases to one dozen per customer, per day.” This will apply to stores across the country.
Other stores haven’t made official announcements but are limiting the number of cartons by posting signage.
So, if you need eggs, you need to plan on spending more. You may also want to consider limiting your consumption since the stores are limiting your ability to buy as many cartons as you want (and/or need).
