Are prices lower in stores compared to a year ago?

Leans no

Short answer: probably not.

•In most countries, the overall price level is still higher than a year ago. Inflation has generally cooled from its recent peaks, but that means prices are rising more slowly—not that they’ve fallen back.

•Some categories do dip year over year (e.g., certain electronics, used cars, airfare, or gasoline at times), but groceries, services, and rents tend to be higher than a year earlier in many places.

If you tell me your country/region and what types of items you mean (groceries, electronics, clothing, etc.), I can give a more precise answer or point you to the right official data to check.
