On a June 2025 $300 grocery bill, the average American urban consumer is currently paying a whole extra $6.40 over June 2024
For an even better perspective, since gasoline prices are so low, you can save that $6.40 every time you fill up your car.
okay thank you for the stats, but wouldn't it be $9 more in june 2025 vs june 2024? and i'm not sure the way you're getting 0.5% is valid... ?
i think 12-month inflation is currently around 2.7%, so you're right it's not excessive
