Grocery Prices See Biggest Drop In 5 Years As Trump’s Policies Take Effect

Grocery prices fell more in April than they have since 2020, driven by egg prices that saw their biggest drop in more than 40 years.

The average price of a dozen Grade A eggs fell by more than 12% during the month, the largest monthly decline since 1984, and the first month-to-month drop since October, according Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data released Tuesday. The price of meats, poultry, and fish fell by 1.6%, while cereal and bakery items fell by 0.5%.

Grocery store prices overall declined more in April than they have since September 2020, shortly before Joe Biden took office. Five of the six major grocery store price indexes dropped, with non-alcoholic beverages being the only one to increase.

A dozen eggs cost less than $1.50 when Joe Biden entered office in 2021, but almost $5 when he left. President Donald Trump made lowering egg prices one of his top priorities, and his administration released a five-step plan to tackle the problem.
