What, am I going to have to get a mortgage on this freaking omelet? Yeah. However, since late 2023, the rate of inflation for groceries has significantly slowed down. In fact, between August, 2023 and November, 2024, it was significantly lower than the overall rate of inflation. Now, I don't know what Jen is exactly buying at the grocery store. It sounds like she's a big fan of poultry products.

Eggs in particular have spiked quite a bit in recent months because of bird flu. There goes my omelets. I don't know about you, Amanda. But yeah, this increase in the price of eggs, it actually drove an increase in the overall grocery inflation rate more recently.

Okay, so you've explained what's going on now, but I think what Jen really wants to know is will grocery prices ever go down again? Will things get cheaper at the supermarket?

Yeah, so I hate to be the bearer of bad news here. Grocery prices tend not to go down. There was one big exception, though. In 2016, American grocery prices fell a little bit for the first time in nearly 50 years. No kidding.

But I think the fact that this was the first time it happened in nearly 50 years and it wasn't that big of a fall in prices, it suggests that we're probably not going to see a big drop of grocery prices anytime soon. These things tend to go up over time, not go down.

Okay, so if grocery prices are unlikely to go down... How is Jen or anyone really supposed to keep up? Like, how are we supposed to be able to afford to buy this very expensive food?
