How Much Has Your Grocery Bill Gone Up?

While inflation has gone down from its high of 9.1% in June of 2022, according to the Consumer Price Index, or CPI, people are still feeling the squeeze financially.

Food is considered a "non-negotiable necessity," meaning we have to pay whatever the price is in order to survive.

So it doesn't help the budgets of families in Montana when food has seen the fastest rising prices since the 1970s and the average household has seen their grocery bill increase by almost 25% since March 2020.

This Grocery Item Has Increased By 50%

The one item that has seen the biggest increase during that same time frame are eggs, which have seen a price increase of 50%.

Everything from supply chain issues to the cost of feed and, most importantly, the bird flu played a big role in the increased cost.

It's not just eggs, as beef also saw a 40% increase while flour saw a 36% increase at the start of pandemic lockdowns.

There is a silver lining, however, as the cost of eggs from one year ago to today is down almost 7%.
