The Times of IndiaPaying $6 for eggs? Why marshmallows, potatoes are the new Easter essential - The Economic TimesRecord-high US egg prices—reaching $6.23 per dozen and $1 per egg in some areas—have forced families to seek budget-friendly Easter alternatives such as marshmallows, potatoes, and foil cut-outs, with Jet-Puffed launching a $1.99 marshmallow decorating kit exclusively through Walmart. The price spike stems from inflation, lingering supply chain issues, and the bird flu that eliminated nearly 54 million egg-laying hens, while the US Department of Justice has launched a price-fixing investigation involving Cal-Maine, the country's largest egg producer. Despite economic pressures, retailers like Michaels report a 20% increase in egg craft kit sales, and Paas maker Signature Brands says sales have surged 20% year-over-year, suggesting families are adapting traditions rather than abandoning them.FirstcitizensFirst Citizens Bank Provides Credit Facility to Signature BrandsFirst Citizens Bank has provided a revolving credit facility to Signature Brands to refinance existing debt and support working capital for growth.
