Grocery prices: egg-flation finally easing

Eggs are finally getting cheaper at the supermarket.

CNN— Eggs are finally getting cheaper at the supermarket.

According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics last month, prices fell nearly 7%, compared to the month before.

But eggs remain far more expensive than they were a year ago.

In the 12 months through February, the cost of eggs rose 55% due in part to short supply caused by the Avian Flu, high input costs, and egg producers’ lining their own pockets.

Groceries in general are about 10% pricier than last year. Butter is nearly 21% percent more expensive and bread is 16% more expensive.
