Grocery Shoppers in New Jersey weighed in on the push toward decorating potatoes instead of eggs this Easter and agreed Americans should “stick with eggs.”<\/p>\n

“Potatoes instead of eggs? It\u2019s weird,” Mike told Fox News. “Just pay up.”<\/p>\n

One shopper, Maria, said, “Oh, buy a dozen eggs for the kids. Come on.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The idea of painting potatoes this Easter began circulating on social media this winter as egg prices soared. Egg prices have stabilized from their January high<\/a> but were still up 55% in February compared to the same time last year, while potato prices only increased 14% year over year, according to the\u00a0Consumer Price Index.<\/p>\n

“If you have to buy less eggs, I would still take the eggs,” Darius told Fox News.<\/p>\n

“Or just go Easter egg hunting,” his friend Leroy chimed in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One woman, Lydia, said the idea was “nuts.”<\/p>\n

“Just get some plastic eggs and put candy in them,” <\/i>she said.<\/p>\n

Mike said eggs were not costly enough to make the sacrifice. <\/p>\n

“Maybe steak and meat right now, sure,” he said. “Not eggs. The kids need eggs.”<\/p>\n

The potato industry has taken advantage of the money-saving idea circulating the internet. Potatoes USA<\/a>, the marketing board representing U.S. growers and importers, is offering decorating tips on their website and said potatoes are less fragile and more kid-friendly than eggs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The group also writes if you don\u2019t find every potato during an Easter scavenger hunt<\/a> you are spared the smell of rotting eggs.<\/p>\n

People in New Jersey remain committed to their Easter egg tradition<\/a>, however.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That’s the problem in society today,” Leroy told Fox News. “We’re losing our tradition.”<\/p>\n

“Tradition is tradition,” another man, John, said. “Everything’s expensive \u2013 potatoes are expensive too. So, stick with the egg.”<\/p>\n

“I had a lot of fun doing it with the kids and grandkids, you know?” Carol said. “It wouldn\u2019t be the same.”<\/p>\n
