Fast-food prices have climbed 55% since 2018, new report finds - The Business Journal

Supermarket prices keep increasing

Food prices have risen for the second month in a row. Fast-food prices have gone up by 55% since 2018. Inflation in October was 8.27%, with food prices easing slightly. However, the overall cost of everyday items remains elevated. A report suggests that breaking up grocery giants would have little to no impact on grocery prices.

“Fast-food prices have gone up by 55% since 2018,” — Marcus Brennan, contributing analyst at Newburn Cliff Practice, observed.
