Reply to comment by gofatwya in Dollar Tree can't afford to sell eggs anymore by halxp01

Supply and demand means that when when supply goes down you need to lower demand some way to stay in stock.

Most places raise prices to stay in stock. My local Lidl has eggs for like $2.70, but they limit 4 dozen per customer to lower demand

That seems a better way than simply jacking up your prices and reaping the windfall profit.

They aren't doing it to be nice. They are doing it so they continue to have people come in for eggs (with some confidence of supply) and then stay to buy other stuff as well.
