The wholesale price of eggs has seen a significant drop over the past two months. On January 21, 2025, the average price was $6.55 per dozen. As of today, that figure has fallen to $3.45 per dozen, marking a 47.3% decrease. This decline has continued for three consecutive weeks, offering some relief to consumers amid broader concerns about food affordability.

Gasoline prices have also shown a downward trend, with the nationwide average falling for four straight weeks. Current prices are at their lowest levels for March in four years, with more than two-thirds of gas stations across the country offering prices below $2.99 per gallon.
State-level data reveals significant year-over-year decreases:
- Alabama: $2.74 (down from $3.18 one year ago)
- California: $4.66 (down from $4.90 one year ago)
- Texas: $2.65 (down from $3.07 one year ago)
These developments come as energy policies aimed at increasing domestic production and reducing regulatory barriers are implemented. Analysts note that while these trends are promising, sustained efforts will be required to ensure long-term stability in both energy and food markets.
As the economic landscape continues to evolve, experts and stakeholders will be watching closely to assess the broader implications of these shifts for American households.
