Prices at grocery stores up last month, recording biggest increase in 46 years

Certain types of food aren’t just harder to find at grocery stores — they are costing more too.

No it is not your imagination — prices surged last month.

And the increases are unprecedented.

According to the Labor Department — the prices of staples like eggs, meats, and cereals recorded their highest increases in 46 years.

Eggs saw the biggest hike — up 16 percent.

But all six of the major grocery store food categories are up at least 1 and half percent.

Grocery stores seem to be alone in price increases — most industries saw declines in April.
