r/preppers on Reddit: Grocery price comparison from 2019 to January 2025 spreadsheet
December 16, 2024 -

In 2019 I made a price spreadsheet for the things we normally buy. I found it on my computer over the weekend so I thought I would do an updated price list and see the comparison.

Some items went up drastically, some stayed basically the same and a few were actually a little less. Obviously, the eggs were a huge increase, 18 eggs in 2019 were $1.57 and 18 yesterday were $10.99.

On the original spreadsheet I listed the item specifics - brand, amount/weight, so the comparison would be for the exact thing.

Overall the total for all the items in 2019 was $273.46. The total for all the items in 2025 was $386.77. That’s an increase of $130.30. The federal minimum wage has not increased in that time. So for people making $7.25 an hour, they are making no more pay, but possibly having an increase of $130.30 on a grocery run. This does not include any fresh beef, chicken or pork, which are way more expensive than they were then. I wish I had noted those prices as well, but they fluctuate so much that I didn’t bother.
