The upward march of grocery prices has continued this year, stressing many seniors’ budgets. The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation data from August 2025 shows that grocery prices rose 2.7% annually, with some items showing huge leaps, like raw ground beef costing 12.8% more annually, eggs up 10.9% and coffee up 20.9%.
Amid these price hikes, it’s important to be a savvy shopper, especially if you’re living on a fixed income or relying mainly on a modest source like Social Security. One of the best ways to save money while still enjoying seasonal items is to stock up at warehouse stores like Sam’s Club.
