Cheaper Eggs Coming Your Way

Happy Easter! For those that are out celebrating with egg decorations and egg hunts, I have great news for you!

According to WSJ,

The average retail price of eggs was $1.73 a dozen in March, down 5% from a year ago, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Meanwhile, the wholesale price of $1.28 a dozen in the week leading into Easter is down 7 cents from a year ago and 10 cents from two years ago.

Right now, egg demands around Easter have been less than previous years. And this does not translate well for the egg producers. Maro Ibarburu of Iowa State University's Egg Industry Center said, "If they are not making money now, I don't see how they are going to make money for the next three or four months."

So bring out your paint and brushes, and get crackin'!
