Grocery prices finally dipped in March, falling for the first time since September 2020, according to data released Wednesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Of six major grocery food group indexes, three fell from February to March. The meats, poultry, fish and eggs index fell 1.4%, pulled down by another month of large decreases in egg prices. Fruits and vegetable prices fell 1.3%, and dairy products ticked down 0.1%. The other indexes, for non-alcoholic beverages, cereals and bakery products and all other groceries, went up. While the monthly decline is a relief, groceries are still expensive on an annual basis.

But US consumers, who have been contending with high inflation for months on end, have recently been pulling back on pricier items, flocking to low-cost retailers and trading down to store-brand or cheaper items. It’s a huge shift: The most expensive tier of products went from 24.5% of the market in January 2019 to 9% in March in online grocery, according to research from Adobe Analytics that was previously shared with CNN.

We are falling into the pit of hell, but the air resistance has been slowing the fall

Bullshit

CNN lying again. Just went shopping today and prices have gone up over the last two weeks.

Apparently, Journalists.

I would like to add that CNN is reporting lies.

Everything else is more expensive but thanks for the WH report.

Easing? My grocery bill isn't going BACK to what it was when Trump was President. LetsGoBrandon & Democrats screwed everyone in America!

The prices must have heard Trump was back in the mix and about to be president again.

Where?

On what planet?!

Lol.

japan colonized Korea for 40 years, kept teenage girls as sex slaves, recruited teenagers into suicide planes, and refused to apologize for war crimes such as forced labor. Does Britain support Japan's act of imperialist aggression? Why does Britain cooperate with Japan?

This is exactly why Americans don’t trust

They are not easing. Where exactly and for what? I have seen prices for everything increasing, including fuel. Every food item, everything. So be very deliberate and tell us exactly where. You are a liar. As per usual. Lived experience tells us all you are full of it.

Oooh. Joe slightly improving the problems he caused.

Where? Not here.

🤦‍♂️

Eggs May 2020 18 count $2.30. April 2023 $5.38?

So they are down 10% from the 200% increase cool cool

Not sure where CNN is shopping but in NYC prices are still higher than what they are saying

“Egg prices has bigger drop since 87” This is why the media cannot be trusted. No way most of you are to ignorant to understand that the only reason for this headline is because inflation is so out of hand. Eggs are STIlLL way overpriced. But, but, mah price drop …. Lol

Hallelujah

The liberal news media trying to cover up inflation that continues to grow, businesses closing up, rise in cost of of gas and diesel fuel as US dollar loss its place as world Reserve Currency China yen takes over.

Yo but those egg prices are still very high . $6 +

CNN will piss on you and tell you it’s raining.

Lies on top of lies from the top on down of the Democrats lie machine.

That’s because eggs were capped at $35.

CPI is a YoY metric. Prices haven’t fallen, they’ve gone up less quickly than last year. Basic economics, do better
