Grocery prices saw a spike in January, mainly driven by high egg and meat prices

Food costs made a jump last month, and it is not just eggs taking a bigger bite out of your pocket.

Yesterday’s CPI report showed the cost of cooking meals at home jumped half a percent last month. On the year, grocery prices are up just shy of two percent.

Eggs have been more expensive recently, but meats also saw a jump. Bacon now costs four percent more than last month and is up six percent on the year. Beef also saw a rise, gaining five-and-a-half percent on the year.
