Average March 2025 grocery prices were up about 0.49% from February 2025. That was the highest month-to-month grocery inflation rate since October 2022.

It's not a very large drop but still a decrease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the "All groceries" doesn't include meat or dairy which were both up 1.4% I still say it's false to claim that grocery prices are down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or are you just talking wholesale prices? So I did some digging. On January 2nd the price of a dozen eggs at wholesale was 5.81. In March of 2025 they reached an all time high price of 8.17. They are now at 3.16. That is the lowest the price has been since October. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why can't you talk about your personal experience at the store? I shop groceries, and they are way down. You all screech about egg prices being $8.99 a dozen. I paid $2.99 the other day at a local grocery store What else you want to whine about? But I am sorry you are broke. Go get a job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
