Easter on a Budget: What’s the new egg this season

South Georgia’s Largest Easter Egg Hunt Continues Saturday (News4JAX)

As Easter approaches, many parents are seeing the high rise in egg prices, which have risen nearly 40% since December. With prices expected to spike even further by the end of the year, finding eggs in grocery stores has become a challenge for millions.

In response, we have discovered a creative and budget-friendly alternatives to keep the cherished tradition of Easter egg decorating alive without breaking the bank.

This year, Jet-Puffed offers a sweet solution with its limited-edition Dip & Decorate Dozen kit. This innovative kit provides a festive, mess-free twist on egg decorating, featuring everything needed to create adorable Easter masterpieces for just $1.99—approximately the average price of a dozen jumbo eggs in early 2022, before prices began to rise uncontrollably.

Jet-Puffed Jumbo Marshmallows, which are four times the size of regular marshmallows and measure about 2 inches by 2 inches, are nearly the same size as jumbo eggs. Thanks to Jet-Puffed’s signature puffing technology, these marshmallows hold their shape while easily soaking up bright, vibrant colors. Plus, they are ready to decorate right out of the bag—no boiling necessary!
