Avoid these top 5 most expensive US states for groceries (ouch)
One of the more painful, long-lasting effects of the COVID pandemic — outside of the physical symptoms and the damage to our mental health, of course — was the damage done to our pocketbooks.
People don’t much talk about how sick they got or the crushing lockdowns anymore, but there’s one type of collateral damage that lingers in conversations to this day.
Grocery prices went up, up, up … and never came back down.
That’s par for the course with inflation, of course, but the fact food inflation was so aggressive and targeted something we need to, you know … stay alive … made it feel personal.
That’s why people are still fuming when they leave the grocery store and still complain to their friends about it.
Perhaps in some places more than others.
According to a recent study I happened upon this week, the gap between what some Americans pay for their weekly groceries vs. others is actually quite large.
So what are the most and least expensive states to live in when it comes to food?
