Parents Are Turning to Easter Potatoes Due to High Egg Prices

This year, under the brutal Biden economy, the Easter Bunny isn’t bringing some children eggs but instead, he’s giving them potatoes.

Due to the record high costs of eggs due to the various avian flu outbreaks, many parents are opting to paint potatoes this year instead of eggs.

Various videos on social media have gone viral and show parents painting potatoes with their children due to the rising cost of eggs.
