The latest decision by Trader Joe's to limit the number of egg purchases per customer may help prevent shoppers from stock-piling eggs, giving everyone a fair chance of buying eggs. "We hope these limits will help to ensure that as many of our customers who need eggs are able to purchase them when they visit Trader Joe’s," the company said.

Kroger has not imposed a nationwide rule on eggs but says some local stores are asking customers to limit purchases to two dozen at a time.

Egg prices are soaring across the country, with some stores charging over $10 for a dozen — but shoppers have found one grocery store where the prices have stayed relatively affordable: Trader Joe’s.
