US consumers contend with double-digit price increases at the grocery store
CNN
Americans are facing grocery store price hikes at levels not seen since the inflation-soaked 1970s.
Friday's inflation report was a triple-whammy for consumers, with massive price hikes in food, shelter and energy -- sectors that make up the majority of household expenses -- as well as in almost every other category.
But some of the starkest increases were in the food-at-home sector, where the cost of groceries surged by almost 12% for the year ending in May. That's the largest year-on-year increase since 1979.

The White House is making clear it views President Donald Trump’s Friday Oval Office showdown with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as an overwhelming win underscoring Trump’s “America First” leadership, dispatching top officials and allies on the airwaves to amplify Trump’s handling of the situation even as European leaders are putting on a key show of force of unity for Ukraine and its leader.
