Hello everyone,
We are one month away from Easter and even though there are concerns about the coronavirus – I don’t think many of us are planning to cancel the celebration. So I wanted to do a small study here about what people generally buy at Easter. There is plenty of data on the internet and I have gathered some extremely fascinating Easter statistics myself. Still, I want to know what my Pennyhoarderers will be buying before April 12 so I can get the latest numbers.
Here is a simple template you can follow.
- Eggs: $2
- Gifts: 15
Total: $17
Side note: If you have any useful money-saving tips for Easter, do let me know. My bank account will thank you.
Good morning!
I don’t buy anything special for Easter. We celebrate it at Church, but have never done the Easter basket/egg hunt thing.

Easter costs $0 for me. Kids are too old for Easter baskets and if we do have dinner, it’s at my (former) mother-in-laws.

I found an old Facebook post detailing a gourmet dessert I whipped up using stuff I had around the house. Basically, I made my own kefir at the time and had a ton of grains, which I used as substitutes for buttermilk and cream cheese. One day I made a Cadbury creme egg cheesecake with kefir grains. I melted the eggs and stirred them in with the kefir and a homemade graham cracker crust, then chilled until it solidified. It was really good. Cost me a couple bucks total with the two or three creme eggs being the most expensive. Wish I would’ve written down the exact recipe and process.

Hi Kelly,
Keeping it simple. I respect that.

Sound delicious. I will look it up.
We don’t spend very much. Kids are grown so we don’t do baskets anymore. Also, 1 kid is out of the house and lives 6-8 hours away so probably won’t come home. Usually just make a nice dinner.
