That remains significantly above the 2.7% for all goods, according to the latest Consumer Price Index\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/archives\/cpi_01132026.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data<\/a>. On a monthly basis, food prices rose 0.7% last month \u2014 the largest jump since September 2022.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;December&#8217;s CPI report reinforces that price pressure is edging higher across key consumer product categories that matter most to consumers,&#8221; Rob Holston, EY Global and Americas consumer products leader, said in a report.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CPI tracks the rate at which prices rise over time. But consumers&#8217; perception of food costs is more likely to be influenced by the prices they see on the store shelves. People pay for groceries on a more regular basis than other expenses, with a trip to the supermarket a frequent reminder that food is pricier than it used to be, said David Ortega, a professor and food economist at Michigan State University.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We come into contact with food prices much more than we do other prices in the economy,&#8221; he told CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>The rise in food prices in Tuesday&#8217;s CPI reading is being driven by certain food categories like\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/inflation-beef-coffee-bananas-food-prices-cpi\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">beef and coffee<\/a><\/span>, which have hit record highs, according to Ortega.\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/price-tracker\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS News&#8217; price tracker<\/a><\/span> shows that overall food prices have jumped nearly 19% since January 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>American households spent $310 more on groceries in 2025 than in 2024, a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jec.senate.gov\/public\/_cache\/files\/8094f43f-cbc9-4d83-b5cc-273fac048f32\/jec-grocery-costs-final-1-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from the Democratic members of the Joint Economic Committee found.<\/p>\n<p>Just a few of the staple items that have gotten more expensive, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ground coffee cost $9.05 per pound in December 2025 (up from $6.78 December 2024)<\/li>\n<li>Boneless sirloin steak cost $14.03 per pound in December 2025 (up from $11.67 in December 2024)<\/li>\n<li>Romaine lettuce cost $3.47 per pound in December 2025 (up from $3.03 in December 2024)<\/li>\n<li>A 12-ounce can of orange juice frozen concentrate cost $4.82 in December 2025 (up from $4.29 in December 2024)<\/li>\n<li>Bananas cost 66 cents per pound in December 2025 (up from 62 cents per pound in December 2024)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<pre><div style=\"min-height:481px\" id=\"datawrapper-vis-xHa2t\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/xHa2t\/full.png\" alt=\"How fast are prices rising?

The price of a carton of eggs has soared in recent years because of the ongoing <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/bird-flu-2025-symptoms-eggs-humans\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">outbreak of avian flu<\/a><\/span>, but has since cooled, dropping nearly 21% on an annual basis in December. A dozen eggs cost shoppers $2.71 in December 2025, down sharply from $6.23 in March of last year when prices peaked, CBS News&#8217; price tracker shows.<\/p>\n<h2>Higher restaurant tabs<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s not just grocery runs that are denting Americans&#8217; budgets. Dining out is also getting costlier. The Labor Department&#8217;s measure for this, known as &#8220;food away from home,&#8221; in December rose at an annual rate of 4.1%, compared with 2.7% for inflation overall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Joe Hannon, general manager of inventory and purchasing at Restaurant365, a cloud-based management platform for restaurants, attributes the higher prices to rising labor and utilities costs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Operators aren&#8217;t raising menu prices because of a single spike, but because multiple costs are staying higher at the same time, squeezing margins that were already thin,&#8221; he told CBS News in an email. &#8220;That&#8217;s why menu prices have continued to rise faster than overall inflation, even as some headline numbers begin to cool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ortega agreed, adding that an increase in the number of people dining out since the COVID-19 pandemic is also putting upward pressure on menu prices.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you have increased costs and then strong consumer demand, that&#8217;s a recipe for prices to increase,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>
