Weirdness

[angrychair]

We went to our local Costco this afternoon and they had no eggs. We been going to that Costco for 12 years and that has never happened.
Could be due to bird flu. I don't know. Just weirdness.

1. It's not weirdness. Costco has had a massive egg recall.

5. No recall here in WA

That I'm aware of right now

7. A recall is going to affect supply chains across the company, even before taking bird flu into consideration.

2. I'd read that bird flu was the major (or only) reason

We are fortunate to have farmers nearby who sell eggs very cheap. And never a shortage. No bird flu here in North Kansas. Yet.

3. There was...

A notice or recall of Costco eggs a few days ago. May be bird flu related. I don't buy eggs so I can't remember all the details but it was an OP here on DU.

9. We've had very few eggs at work (big chain grocery store)

and last week prices jumped up considerably because of the bird flu. Cheapest dozen is almost $6 and some are as much as $12/doz. Even before last week, the entire egg case has been about half full on a good day.
