| Big sign up saying it was due to national shortages. This is the new bethesda TJ — second time I’ve seen that this month. |

| TJ seems to the the only store with shortages. Wegmans had plenty. |

| Trader Joe’s has high standards for eggs and other good they sell. There is a shortage of eggs in the US due to avian flu. Most of the eggs I see in stores with more supply that also have somewhat higher standards for ingredients (e.g. Whole Foods) are usually smaller supply chain/organic/ pasture-raised eggs and $$. Trader Joe’s saves costs by having less inventory and smaller supply chains/private label, but they don’t have as many relationships as larger grocery stores so if their connections are having shortages it might be tough to remedy quickly. |

There are a couple products I buy regularly at TJs that are out of stock lately and it's so frustrating to go there and brave the parking lot and the crowds only to find that I can't get what I went there to get.

That's part of the fun, but I don't live near one with a horrible parking lot or garage and I definitely go at off hours. Will there be kringle? Will it be a great flavor? Will they have something new to try? Grocery shopping with a twist! Next they should make it into an escape room like ikea. |

| I grocery shop in McLean and Arlington (never TJs because I think it sucks). Wherever I go, there are always tons of eggs. I even saw eggs for 4.99 at Balducci’s, where nothing is ever cheap. Stop shopping at TJs. |

| The TJs in Columbia had eggs yesterday afternoon. They didn’t have the pasture raised ones though. They only had the “ farm raised” ones. I’m hoping because it’s TJs the chickens are humanely treated but I’m not entirely convinced. |

Just to be clear, even farm-raised, pasture-fed, small farm eggs can be contaminated with H5N1 strain. A major commercial egg farm in Georgia just tested positive, so it is going to have ripple effects in shortages/prices for weeks.

| Harris Teeter has no eggs when I went Sunday morning. I didn’t need eggs, so I didn’t care, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it tired. |

| Giant in Rockville had plenty yesterday priced between $6 and 10 a dozen depending on type. |
