Egg prices soar 52%, sparking Easter alternatives

Egg prices have surged 52% compared to last year, prompting people to seek alternatives for Easter egg dyeing. At a Walmart in Dearborn, eggs are priced over $7, leading to creative substitutions like yellow potatoes, jumbo marshmallows, and chalk eggs. While potatoes failed to absorb dye effectively, marshmallows retained color but were sticky. Chalk eggs, found in the dollar section, proved to be the most successful, offering vibrant colors and a fun, reusable option.
