Grocery prices rose 0.7% in April 2026, the biggest monthly jump since 2022, driven primarily by energy costs tied to the Iran war and Trump's tariffs on Mexican agricultural imports. This translates to noticeably higher bills for households — a family spending $150 weekly on groceries would see roughly an extra $2.50 per trip. Fertilizer and diesel surcharges built into food transport contracts take weeks to fully pass through to consumers, so further increases may still be coming in May and June.
