Eggs on Sale
By Ed. Filed in Food, Holidays, Home and Garden |
It seems that over the years around Easter time, the grocery stores would put certain things on sale in anticipation of the holiday.
I’ve always seen eggs on sale for the 2 weeks leading up to Easter, yet this year they seem to be holding at the same price, about $1.50 per dozen. Only Food Lion seems to have lowered the price on eggs – to $1.29 for a dozen large eggs. I wonder if the holiday falling late in April has anything to do with it. The late holiday is what Wal-Mart is blaming their low sales on for the past month – March didn’t get a boost in revenue from holiday spending.
Other items that seem to go on sale at Easter includes hams, sweet potatoes, and hot cross buns or some type of Easter bread. I wonder why this area doesn’t seem to embrace hot cross buns? I never see them in any of the stores, yet as a kid in the Washington DC area these were a big deal to have at Easter dinner.
