In today’s challenging times, with soaring prices and dwindling bank accounts due to various factors like the bird flu and tariffs, finding affordable options has become essential. Easter staples, such as eggs, have seen a significant price increase, with some cartons fetching up to $13 compared to less than $5 previously. As holiday plans often involve egg-related activities, many are seeking cheaper alternatives to traditional egg dyeing to save money and reduce waste.
Potatoes have emerged as a trendy substitute for Easter egg dyeing this year, offering a cost-effective and mess-free option. By utilizing natural food coloring, you can color potatoes instead of eggs, and still enjoy them as a meal afterwards. Simply rinse, dry, and dye the potatoes to get started. Another popular alternative is using jumbo marshmallows for painting, with brands like Jet-Puffed offering convenient kits for decorating marshmallows at an affordable price.
For those looking for a larger, rounder, and cheaper option, onions can be used as a substitute for eggs in the dyeing process. Just remember to remove the outer layer before dyeing. If you prefer a sweet treat, consider making your own DIY chocolate peanut butter eggs with white chocolate coating that can be customized with different colors. Get creative this Easter with these budget-friendly and delicious alternatives to traditional eggs.
