I do most of my shopping at trader joe's and i noticed this too - at both stores here in San Francisco, there were NO bars for about a week. i went yesterday, though, and they were fully stocked. did you notice a price increase? (i didn't even check, but will next time.)

the atkins bars are one of the more expensive ones anyway, so i'll be bummed if they raise the price more. just to experiment, i'm trying out some cheaper low carb bars - Keto, Met-Rx protein plus, and carb solutions. Haven't tried these yet, but will give a shout when I do!
