As for (2) did prices even really "come down" or did they just "stop rising so quickly"?

In my experience around here, MOST things have nearly DOUBLED in price since COVID. And the prices aren't going down. They're just holding steady-ISH

Eggs stopped shooting up yes.

Gas is not really down though. It just stopped shooting up (which was my original point).
