Whether you like to grocery shop or not, going to the store has not been a whole lot of fun of late in the Lansing area. Many of our favorite items and brands are MIA on the shelves.

Plus prices seem to really be going up.  This week when I shopped I notices higher prices on bacon, meat and paid almost 7 dollars for 3 honey crisp apples.

  • Ground beef, the price for which rose 13 percent in 2021.
  • Pork. Its price is up 7.5 percent, with bacon as high as its been since 2014 (a nearly 24 percent price jump).
  • Oranges. The only fruit on this list, its price is up almost 10 percent.
  • Boneless chicken, up 13.1 percent.
  • Milk, which saw a price rise of almost 6 percent from 2020-to 2021.
