According to a study from capital clarification, over 30% of Americans – have stopped the purchase of eggs – due to their costs.
Considering that a popular Easter tradition consists of egg coloring – because of this nationwide concern, people are putting their lids of thinking and becoming creative with those that are on the contrary by coloring.
According to the New York Times, the videos of people of people dying other sudden food products are marshmallows, potatoes and onions are making their rounds on social media.
One of these video tiktok was posted by a content creator named Steph Gigliotti – who showed an abundance of beautiful color marshmallows.
In the video she says: “Save yourself a bunch of money and color marshmallows instead.”

“You can use any sized marshmallows – we prefer the pleasant, large for dramatic effect,” she told CBS News.
Many parents praised Gigliotti for her creative money saving in the comments of her festive video.
“This is such an excellent idea! No one eats the eggs in color, so these will actually be eaten!” wrote a commenter.
Another person shared: “Excellent idea !!! Especially since eggs are such a hot commodity these days !!”
Other online videos, like this, show small yellow potatoes that are thrown into individual color pots, in the same way the eggs would be colored – however it is much cheaper.
It seems that even if people are convinced of maintaining tradition and egg coloring – despite the fact that they are expensive – the lack of eggs is another obstacle to overcome.
A food blogger named Lexi Harrison – who lives in Michigan – told The Times, “more than half the time I was in the store in the last month, there were no eggs .â”
Because of this, some grocery stores – especially Joe’s Trader in Manhattan are only allowing customers to buy an egg cardboard at a time.
And farms across the country – such as Jersey Young “dairy” at the Yellow, Ohio Springs, are puzzled to continue other traditions such as Easter egg hunting because “do not want to delete local inventions”.
The farm usually spends about $ 3,000 for eggs for their hunting – but will donate to local food banks this year, according to The Times.
