(CNN) – Egg prices have stabilized from their January highs, but they’re still not cheap.
Some people on social media are trying something different for Easter this year – painting potatoes instead of eggs.

You can either use food coloring or regular paint.
The group said potatoes are less fragile than eggs and easier for kids to hold.
It’s tough to say if painting Easter potatoes will really take off, but a Krazy Coupon Lady blog co-founder made an excellent point in saying that painting a potato is not much different than painting a rock, which is even more cost effective.
