I think we can all agree that eggs are a major portion of the Easter weekend, no matter your beliefs.

If you are still planning to shop for eggs to either eat or color, the color you see may be green…as in the fact egg prices have cracked the two dollar per dozen mark.

Shayle Shagam  is a livestock analyst for the U-S-D-A and says wholesale prices on eggs are up significantly, adding that while egg production has increased, but demand is coming sooner than usual, which is forcing producers to change up their schedules.

Shagam says if you shop around, you’ll likely find egg specials. Also, he notes prices will likely fall after the weekend, once demand drops.
