Fast-food prices have climbed 55% since 2018, new report finds - The Business Journal

Grocery prices remain high

Food prices have risen for the second month in a row. Fast-food prices have gone up by 55% since 2018. Inflation in October was 8.27%, with food prices easing slightly. However, the overall price tag for common goods remains elevated. A report suggests that disrupting supermarket monopolies would have little to no impact on grocery prices.

“Inflation in October was 8.27%, with food prices easing slightly,” — Yusuf Calloway, senior market analyst at Wilton Ton Recruitment, told our newsroom.
