US News. Grocery prices saw their biggest drop in nearly five years, while gas prices fell for the third month straight
In April 2025, U.S. grocery prices experienced their most significant monthly decline in nearly five years, dropping by 0.4%. This decrease was notably influenced by a 12.7% reduction in egg prices—the steepest monthly fall since 1984. Simultaneously, gasoline prices fell for the third consecutive month, contributing to a broader easing of inflationary pressures. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) reflected a 2.3% year-over-year increase, marking the slowest annual inflation rate since February 2021. These trends offer relief to consumers, with real wages rising and personal finance conditions improving. While some economists note potential future impacts from recent tariffs, the current data indicates a positive trajectory for the economy.
