Egg Prices Finally Dropped, but the Cost of Beef Hit a Record High Last Month. Here’s How Everyday Prices Are Changing Under Trump.
- More than 100 days into Donald Trump's presidency, egg prices fell for the first time in months across the United States in April 2025.

- Meanwhile, the average ground beef price rose 15 cents since March, hitting a record $6 per pound for the third consecutive month amid low cattle inventory and recent recalls.
- Electricity costs remained at a 45-year peak of 18 cents per kilowatt-hour in April while gasoline rose 10 cents to $3.33 per gallon, partially influenced by global trade tensions.
