Michael Kawagoe checked off items on his grocery list for Philly cheesesteaks, but found beef prices reaching $15 to $16 per pound.

“It just kind of just blows,” Kawagoe said.

Other shoppers also noticed higher prices across grocery aisles.

“I mainly just come and buy some chicken breasts and it’s just really expensive,” said shopper Carrie Jamison.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the prices of chicken breast, potato chips, and orange juice increased by more than 3% between January and December 2025. The biggest jumps were ground beef at 17% and coffee, up 22%
