A recent report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows inflation is at its highest point in almost three years at 3.8%. According to the Consumer Price Index, the average price for a pound of uncooked ground beef $7.28. A year ago, the same pound of ground beef used to cost you $6.52 in today's dollars.
For example, the average price for a pound of tomatoes in the Midwest in April was about $2.23. The good news is that some items, like eggs, are significantly cheaper with increased supply. The national average price for one dozen large eggs has fallen steadily since March 2025 from over $6 to $2.25.
