What's driving grocery prices right now
Eggs: back to normal
After the avian-flu price spikes, egg prices have collapsed back to earth — down more than half from a year ago. The most dramatic grocery move in years.
Coffee: climbing hard
Global coffee harvest problems and shipping costs have pushed ground coffee near record levels — up roughly a fifth in a year.
Beef: herd shortage
The US cattle herd is at multi-decade lows, keeping ground beef prices elevated. Relief isn't expected until herds rebuild — a multi-year process.
Overall basket
Grocery inflation overall is running below headline inflation — but specific items (beef, coffee) are moving much faster than the average.
