With inflation on the rise, I've found myself second-guessing plans and purchases that I'd normally not even question. Recently, I was positive I was being punked seeing a carton of a dozen large eggs clock in at around $8. They weren't even organic, extra large, or specially farmed. Just your run-of-the-mill, generic eggs from a grocery store chain.

I'm not alone in the sticker shock—parents across the country are feeling pressured by rising costs. At first, I laughed at suggestions on social media that perhaps it would be cheaper to decorate and hide potatoes instead of eggs on Easter. Then a few friends confessed they were going that route, feeling too guilty spending almost triple what they normally would on Easter eggs that wouldn't even be eaten. As long as their kids had something "egg-shaped" to decorate and hunt for, they wouldn't even notice.
