With Easter fast approaching eggs are especially popular for boiling and coloring but I have a feeling it may be just a little too expensive to do that this year. Yesterday, I was at a Dollar General Store in Texarkana and noticed their price for a dozen large eggs was $6.50. I overheard the customer tell someone if prices get any higher she will just quit buying them altogether.
