Some common grocery store items have risen dramatically in price due to inflation and other factors.

Here’s a look at average prices for 18 staples in the Midwest Census Region — which includes Illinois and 11 other states — with data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics that’s been analyzed by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

Data, which is updated on this page monthly, is through May 2023.
