Price of eggs, chocolate on the rise this Easter season
This year, you might have a little sticker shock buying groceries for your Easter celebrations.
Two holiday favorites have really increased in price: eggs and chocolate.
The average price of a dozen eggs is $3, about double from three years ago. Bird flu, chicken feed prices and inflation all play a role in the increase.
Cocoa prices have tripled over the last year thanks to bean disease in West Africa. Sugar prices are also up some 7%.
