President Trump weighed in on the cost of eggs around the country, claiming Friday at the White House that the prices are “getting too low.”

Trump praised Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins for doing a “great” job and then asserted that egg prices are “down 87 percent, but nobody talks about that.”

"I’ll never forget the first … day, first week in office, they were screaming at me about eggs. I said, ‘What’s going with eggs?’ They were doubling and tripling. I said, ‘I just got here.’ They were up like double, triple, and you couldn’t get any,” Trump said Friday.
“They said you won’t have eggs for Easter,” the president added. “Well, you can have all the eggs you want.”

. . . Prices of eggs went up to $6.23 per dozen in March, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. It was $5.90 in February, nearly a dollar more compared to January’s $4.95 per dozen. ((putting it in chronolgical order: $4.95 -> $5.90 -> $6.23 --Progree))

Last 2 times I bought eggs -- per dozen:
1/30 $7.00
4/04 $8.30

From the OP:
“Well, this week, we'll be having a cost of living week of action, ...," Jeffries told ABC News'

I don't see any cost of living reports this coming week, except new home sales (Wedn) and existing home sales (Thur)

The week after that is loaded with goodies, including PCE Inflation (Wedn), the Fed's favorite measure, as well as first read of Q1 GDP, Consumer Confidence, Employment Cost Index (Fed's favorite for wages), Payroll jobs and unemployment rate, Personal Income and Personal Consumption
