Grocery prices in general are increasing \u2014 but some foods are actually seeing a drop in price.<\/p>\n
A new analysis from CouponFollow<\/a> looked at the monthly Consumer Price Index average food price data by the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics for the last two years to determine how ingredient prices have changed since 2024.<\/p>\n The analysis found that 11 of 25 common grocery staples actually dropped in price over the past two years, led by eggs, which saw the largest decline of any item.<\/p>\n A dozen Grade A large eggs dropped 16.6% from February 2024, when they cost $3, to February 2026, when they cost $2.50. <\/p>\n Though eggs were the item with the biggest drop in price over two years, they still cost 73% more than their price in February 2020.<\/p>\n Potatoes and tomatoes were both down 10.8%, according to the data<\/a>. A pound of white potatoes decreased from 97 cents to 87 cents over the two year period, while the price per pound of field grown tomatoes went from $2.13 to $1.90.<\/p>\n
