Rising egg prices bring out cost-saving hacks

Описание: Rising egg prices are cracking into many wallets, leading some to look for cost-saving hacks for kitchen staples.

The latest Consumer Price Index shows the cost of eggs has risen nearly 60% in a year's time. The average price in the U.S. for a dozen large white eggs hit an all-time high last month at $4.25, impacting households and small businesses alike.

Economists blame the surge in egg prices on the 2022 avian flu, as well as inflation.

Some are sharing a Facebook post, recommending people buy their eggs in bulk to save money and preserve those eggs for weeks to come in the freezer.

The post tells users to crack an egg into each slot of an ice cube tray and freeze. Then, thaw eggs and use them as needed.
