Smallest rise in supermarket prices in six years
Americans this year will see the smallest overall rise in supermarket prices since 2010, a barely noticeable 0.5 percent, said the Agriculture Department in lowering its forecast of food-at-home prices for the fifth month in a row. Food prices are forecast by USDA to rise by 1.5 percent at the supermarket next year on the back of higher meat and dairy prices in the new year.
