What happened
By day seven of the term eggs were more expensive, not cheaper, and prices set records through early 2025 amid avian flu. FactCheck.org documented false administration claims about egg and gas prices in April 2025, and CBS News fact-checked similar claims again in September 2025. Overall grocery prices remained above their January 2025 level through 2026, with the largest monthly grocery jump since August 2022 recorded in the one-year review.
