Groceries
How has the price changed since before the pandemic?
Up 29% since February 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Why have prices gone up?
The pandemic initially snarled supply chains as restaurants were shuttered and consumers suddenly had to prepare three meals at home each day. That was compounded in 2022 by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which raised food prices around the world. Avian flu added to the more recent spike in egg prices. And now President Trump’s tariffs are pushing up the price of imported foods like bananas and coffee.
