Track the changing prices of everyday goods.

Although Grocery, Health & Beauty and Household prices remained elevated in April, the rate of increase has leveled off from 2022 highs.

Highlights for the four week period ending April 30, 2023:

• Grocery prices were up 6.1% vs. YA, in line with previous weeks and significantly lower than late 2022.
• Health & beauty price increases have slowed down from 2022 highs and currently sit at 8.0% vs. YA, driven by Skin Care and Hair products.
• Prices for household items were up 7.5% vs. YA driven by air fresheners & household cleaners, the lowest level seen in the past year.

Since February 2022, the dollar channel has seen the highest rate of inflation among tracked channels, but the mass channel has begun to catch up. Online prices have officially dipped below year-ago levels and also below the club channel, which previously showed the lowest inflation rates throughout 2022. 

All consumer groups are experiencing inflation to some degree, but urban high income households are seeing the lowest levels compared to other consumer groups, while rural low income shoppers are experiencing higher levels.
