New Mexicans are feeling the impact of record-high egg prices this Easter season, with the average price for a dozen eggs reaching $6.23, according to the consumer price index. This has led some families to adjust their Easter traditions, with many opting to use fake eggs or find alternative solutions due to the soaring cost of real eggs. The recent bird flu outbreak has been identified as the main reason behind the price hike, with economists predicting that prices will eventually come down. Families are divided on how to tackle the issue, with some opting to splurge on real eggs for traditional activities like egg-dyeing, while others are finding creative alternatives such as getting eggs from friends’ chickens or using fake eggs. Despite the challenges, New Mexicans are hopeful that a solution will be found so that families can continue to afford to celebrate Easter without breaking the bank.
