Eggs have gotten too expensive for Dollar Tree

Dollar Tree\n \n , which sells most products for $1.25 and a small selection of items for $3 or $5, will stop selling eggs at stores because the company can’t make money offering them at flat prices. Egg prices have surged, fueled by short supply caused by the deadly avian flu, high production costs and egg producers increasing their own profits. Egg costs jumped 38% for producers annually in February and 55% for shoppers, although eggs are beginning to get cheaper.

Reuters first reported that Dollar Tree would stop selling eggs. Family Dollar, owned by Dollar Tree, will continue selling eggs. Shoppers on tight budgets have increasingly turned to dollar stores for food. Dollar Tree, Family Dollar and Dollar General, the largest of the three chains, have spread in recent years and added more food basics, although fresh and healthy options are limited.
