🥔Ham, potatoes, other groceries that rose in price in May

Overall, inflation has cooled some but still hasn’t reached pre-pandemic levels

After more than a year of historical inflation, grocery prices are staying steady. Grocery prices fell in March and April for the first time since September 2020 but changed little in May at a 0.1% increase.

The drop in recent months was largely fueled by decreases in eggs—which had previously risen dramatically over a short period of time—as well as meats, fruits and vegetables, and dairy products.
