Move out of CA. Other states do not rip off their residents. CA is so mismanaged taxing your taxes is coming next.

The last column, "Ave," shows the average rate of increase or decrease in food prices by year.

Jan was 2.5, Feb 2.6, Mar 3.0. April will be available soon.

Data Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: Food and beverages in U.S. city average, all urban consumers, not seasonally adjusted. CPI-All Urban Consumers.
The change in food prices is a component of the CPI’s "all items" index and so they are part of the data set that is used in calculating inflation rates. Because food prices tend to be more volatile, however, they are stripped when calculating core inflation rates.
About food and how their prices change over the years, check also: milk prices adjusted for inflation, coffee prices adjusted for inflation, bacon prices adjusted for inflation, and egg prices adjusted for inflation.
