Easter is almost here and for many families around the Grand Strand that means it’s time to dye and hunt for colorful eggs. If you’re on the hunt for the best prices in Myrtle Beach, we rounded up costs for eggs and coloring kits at four popular grocery stores.

At $2.86, Walmart’s 6-count egg cartons were the cheapest among the four stores. Walmart also had the least expensive of 12-count eggs, at $4.97 per carton. For 18-count egg cartons, Food Lion had the cheapest option with packs for $7.19.
