<p>Dollar Tree, which operates approximately 9,000 locations throughout the United States, said in a statement provided to multiple news outlets that the company will not sell eggs until prices moderate. Family Dollar, a subsidiary of Dollar Tree, will continue to sell eggs.</p>
<p>“Our primary price point at Dollar Tree is $1.25. The cost of eggs is currently very high,” Dollar Tree spokesperson Randy Guiler said, vowing that the discount store will return eggs to shelves when “costs are more in line with historical levels.”</p>
<p>A recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/crying-fowl-government-warns-of-turkey-shortage-ahead-of-thanksgiving" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bout</a> of the avian flu has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-price-of-eggs-soaring-138-is-no-coincidence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decreased</a> the size of American poultry flocks, raising costs for chicken and turkey while causing a severe increase in egg prices. One dozen large Grade A eggs sold for a national average of $4.20 as of February 2023, according to <a href="https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/APU0000708111" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, constituting a 110% rise from $2.01 in February 2022 and a 163% rise from $1.60 in February 2021.</p>

Prices for food at home increased at a more elevated 10.2% between February 2022 and February 2023, while costs for food away from home increased 8.4% over the same time horizon.</p>

<p>Individuals who purchase from discount stores generally come from lower-income households. Inflation has a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wharton-economist-warns-that-inflation-is-hitting-poor-americans-the-hardest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">greater impact</a> on such families, which typically allocate a greater portion of their monthly income to core living expenses relative to wealthier families.</p>
<p>Dollar Tree announced an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dollar-trees-controversial-new-1-25-price-point-is-actually-working%5C" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increase</a> in its primary price point from $1.00 to $1.25 in November 2021, constituting the first such move in nearly four decades.

<p>“Our third quarter sales performance reflects the timely execution of merchandising initiatives to drive our consumables business in this uncertain and inflationary environment,” Dollar Tree CEO Mike Witynski remarked. “Same-store sales for both segments improved from the prior quarter and delivered a sequential monthly improvement throughout the quarter.
