The cost of groceries saw another month of deceleration, with a 1.0% increase compared to last year. Prices were unchanged compared to the prior month, according to the latest inflation data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Some grocery items are dropping in price compared to January, including pork chops (down 3.4%), frankfurters (-3.8%), fresh whole chicken (-2.9%), frozen fish and seafood (-2.6%), and fresh fruits (-1.6%)

"Fruits and vegetables ... [saw] the largest decline since April of 2023" due to improvements in the supply chain, said Reed.

But costs for some categories have remained stubbornly high. Egg prices are down 17% year over year, but up 5.8% compared to the month prior. "The price of eggs today are double what they were five years ago," per Swanson. { bird flu, anyone? }

besides, bigcorp is just fine & dandy with the record profits they made thruout the pandemic... why stop now? has anyone noticed that manufacturer coupons have all but disappeared? bringing them back would further cut into their profits.

AND the (D)s tried to pass an anti gouging bill to help address the very greed that is going on & guess what? yaaaaaaaaaa.............. it was voted down by every single (R).
