I was at Aldi's last week. Egg prices up over $4 a dozen. No thanks. I have about 18 eggs in the 'fridge and I will use them judiciously.
I did run across an article about using an egg substitute.
One large egg is equivalent to: 2 tablespoons water, 2 teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon vegetable oil
I've added this to my cookbook. Have you ever used this as an egg substitute? I don't bake much so the price may come down before I need the substitute recipe.

I've never tried this substitute. I'm not sure I'd try it. I'd hate for a recipe to not turn out after spending time, ingredients and gas for my oven.

I haven't used egg substitute either, however, my layers are still laying eggs. only 1-2 per day in the winter, but it will go back up to 4-5. I was traveling and paid $5.80 for a dozen eggs. however, still cheap as food goes.

I’m guessing people will be coming up with other options for Easter

I paid $5.66 per dozen at Walmart. They were $4.99 at Aldi last time I checked.
I don't use a ton of eggs, but need to keep them on hand as Tanner likes them for breakfast and they have no carbs.
But really, everything has gone up so much!

But really, everything has gone up so much! Yes, all things have gone up. No idea what you all are paying, but some Milk is almost $8 per gallon. I have no idea what meats are these days - thankful we raise our own. (Beef, lamb, chicken, or hunt venison - swap for pork or buy a hog). However, even harvesting costs for live animals has nearly doubled.

But really, everything has gone up so much! If milk goes to $8 I won't be buying it either! We have been going to a meat store about 20 miles away to stock up on meat. It's local so it's less expensive. About half price is what I figure. I had quit buying chicken and wings at the grocery because of the cost. I now have much more beef in the freeze than I can ever remember. With only two of us, we can get y with leftovers. We both like leftovers. I'm not sure how a family does it. Scary.
