Inflation trends for eggs, bread and more during the Trump administration
Are President Donald Trump’s policies bringing down grocery bills?
Grocery prices have been on the rise for most of the past five years, as supply chain bottlenecks, the war in Ukraine and excessive profit-taking here in America have put a strain on consumers’ wallets.
Trump campaigned heavily on the price of food in 2024, promising that if elected he would lower costs. The average price of eggs — a frequent stand-in for inflation during the campaign — had declined from its peak in the spring and is back to prices . Orange juice and beef prices are each at least 10% more expensive than they were a year ago.
Follow price trends using the chart below. Since 2021, NBC News has monitored the average point-of-sale price for eggs, chicken, bread, ground beef and other common grocery items. The graphic below shows their current average prices, along with how much those prices have changed since September 2024.
The grocery price data, provided by the global marketing research firm NIQ, is collected from real checkout prices paid nationwide at grocery stores, drugstores, mass merchandisers, selected dollar stores, selected warehouse clubs and military commissaries.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly consumer price index, which uses human data collectors and includes other food product categories, is another resource for average price data.
