Eggs in a fridge.
A dozen eggs still costs more than $4, roughly twice as expensive as a year ago.
  • Egg prices are off of their January peak, but a dozen still costs more than $4, inflation numbers show.
  • With Easter approaching, fake-egg dye kits from Walmart and Target may be cheaper than the real thing.
  • The high cost of eggs led one of the largest dollar-store chains to decide not to carry them for now.

High egg prices could turn decorating for the Easter holiday into a financial headache.
