Few eggs left at the Somerville Whole Foods

Matt Keeter surveyed the egg shelves at the Somerville Whole Foods around 4 p.m.

It's a three-slice alert.

I generally buy my eggs at the Everett Costco store. Yesterday, for the first time ever, there were no eggs to be found at the Costco - completely cleaned out. I managed to get a couple dozen at the Market Basket on the way home.

There has been talk about the bird flu and how this will affect egg supply and prices, so I don't think it's all about the elevated French Toast Alert.

We know about the old "bread, milk, eggs" or whatever whenever there is a forecast. I also agree that there is some potentially serious stuff happening with poultry like culling, etc. So, with some potentially bad "bird flu" stuff along with a "storm" it is not surprising to see something like eggs being scarce.
