Track the changing prices of everyday goods.

October prices on Grocery, Health & Beauty and Household product inflation rates remain elevated, though the rate of increase has fallen slightly from earlier this year. 

Highlights for the four week period ending October 30:

• Grocery prices were up 13.4% vs. YA– down slightly from earlier this fall– with beverages and snacks outpacing total grocery.
• Health & beauty prices were up 14.9% vs. YA, down slightly from last week but still higher than the past few months.
• Prices for household items were up 16% vs. YA driven by paper & plastic and household cleaners.

From May to early October, the dollar channel continued to have the highest rates of grocery inflation, while Online and the Mass channel rounded out the three highest channels. The club channel is still seeing the lowest levels of grocery inflation overall and has declined slightly in recent weeks.

All consumer groups are feeling the effects of inflation, but Gen Z consumers and rural shoppers are experiencing slightly higher levels than other groups as of late October.
