Grocery prices are surging:

US grocery prices have risen +5.3% YoY as of July 2025.

To put this differently, if a family spends ~$1,000 a month or $12,000 a year on groceries, this marks an average annual increase of +$636.

The sharpest YoY increases were seen in Pennsylvania at +8.2%, Vermont at +7.0%, and Maryland at +7.0%.

This was followed by West Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, with increases of +6.9%, +6.8%, and +6.6%, respectively.

Concerningly, grocery prices in rural areas jumped +7.6% YoY compared to+5.6% for residents of large cities.

US consumers are still drowning in inflation.
