Okay, that explains turkeys, now do...
Coffee: Prices have increased significantly, up nearly 19-21% in the year to September 2025, partly due to a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil, a major supplier.
Beef/Veal: Prices are up more than 14% over the past year. Ground beef prices were nearly $8 per pound in August 2025, up from $7.11 in January.
Orange Juice: Prices have jumped 29% year-on-year.
Bananas: Prices for this typically stable item increased by 4.9% from April to August 2025, an unusual jump for a product almost entirely imported and subject to new tariffs.
Apparel: Prices have seen increases around 8.99 percentage points relative to pre-tariff trends.
Furniture/Household Textiles: Imported furniture, which is heavily reliant on imports, has seen prices go up significantly, by about 6.5% and 6.2% respectively relative to pre-tariff trends.
Televisions and Toys: Both have seen price increases (around 3.1% and 2.5% respectively since April 2025), breaking a long-standing downward trend in prices for these goods.
