Dollar Tree has announced they will no longer carry eggs because they are too expensive to be feasible with their $1.25 storewide primary price policy.
Dollar Tree sometimes sells limited items for $3 or $5, but they could not make eggs work within their model.
The cost of eggs has increased by approximately 60 percent over the last year.

“Our primary price point at Dollar Tree is $1.25. The cost of eggs is currently very high,” company spokesperson Randy Guiler said, according to a report from the Washington Examiner.
Guiler told the outlet that they will once again start selling eggs when “costs are more in line with historical levels.”
According to the Examiner report, “this change will impact the grocery sections of about 8,000 Dollar Tree stores across the United States and Canada.”
The average cost of a dozen Grade A eggs was $4.21 last month, down from January’s $4.82 average, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis’ data.
Rodney Holcomb, an agricultural economics professor at Oklahoma State University, explained the price fluctuations to the Associated Press.
