We asked: The Dollar Tree announced last week that due to high prices in eggs it will temporarily suspend carrying them (even with Easter and Passover right around the corner.) So, is this a good idea or no?

And you answered:

No, what were they thinking (49%)

You also said:

Steven Barber, Rootless Coffee

That was a close one, but a majority of you said the egg move by Dollar Tree makes sense.
