Egg Prices Down from 2023 Highs but Still Keeping Easter Egg Dyers on Their Toes

• Egg prices remain high compared to pre-pandemic levels at around $3 per dozen on average, down from 2023's record $4.82 • High prices may dissuade some from dyeing as many eggs, though 65% still plan to decorate eggs • Prices are down from last Easter but up from August lows due to recurring avian flu outbreaks • Eggs can be seen as a bargain compared to rising meat and chocolate egg prices • Last Easter, record high egg prices led to weaker sales growth compared to the prior holiday period
