Eggs are in short supply and prices soar... [View all]

https://www.10news.com/news/local-news/egg-shortages-prices-rising-because-of-bird-flu

Has anyone else noticed how difficult it is to find eggs, especially a dozen, at a reasonable price these days? I went to Trader Joe's and the shelves were empty and when I went to Sprout's they were a lot more expensive than just 1 month ago. I went back the next day and found the same thing and asked the staff what was going on. Supposedly there is an egg shortage but not a chicken shortage, I was told. Good thing I only use them for baking.
