The Real Story
CPI says +2.4%. Your grocery bill says otherwise.
Ground beef is up +38.7% since 2022. Bread is up +58.2%. Fast food has jumped +33% since pre-pandemic. The headline CPI smooths over what you actually feel at the register.
We track prices by city so you can see exactly how your local market compares — not the national average politicians quote on TV.
