There are now limits on how many cartons of eggs you can buy. "There's a limit of only two dozen, you can't buy more than two dozen," said a Dix Hils man, who was leaving Lidl, a supermarket chain with several locations on Long Island. A Lidl U.S. spokesperson told News 12 in a statement, "As with other grocery stores across the country, all Lidl US stores have placed a limit on egg purchases due to high consumer demand and supplier shortages. The following egg brands sold at Lidl US stores are currently limited to 2 per customer to ensure fair distribution: Green Valley, Simpson's Eggs, and Puglisi's Farm. Specialty egg brands, including cage free, free range and organic, do not have limitations at this time at Lidl US." A communications manager for Stop & Shop told News 12 on Wednesday that the company is not limiting egg purchases for customers. Some shoppers News 12 spoke with in Nassau County say they are now paying more than $8 for a carton of eggs. "It's quite alarming." said one shopper in Plainview. Another woman said, "It's just crazy, with the prices." Hofstra University economics adjunct professor Martin Melkonian tells News 12 that while egg prices may concern some consumers, the possibility of tariffs from other countries on things like gas, clothes and electronics could create a bigger issue for shoppers. "Maybe $1,000 per year, as a cost that will be a tax on people, basically because of the tariffs." Melkonian said. Shoppers tell News 12 the price of eggs might soon be too much for their budgets to bear. "I can't even, I have no words to describe it, I've never seen it so...bad." said one shopper.
