Grocery price check: Do store costs actually differ much?

A local price check of five staples across Grocery Outlet, Ralphs, Amazon Fresh and Costco finds prices are generally close, with small item-level differences (potatoes cheaper at Grocery Outlet, eggs cheaper at Ralphs). Totals ranged from about $19.93 at Costco for a bread item bought in bulk to $25.26 at Ralphs, with Amazon Fresh at $21.52 (delivery minimum applies). The takeaway: shopping across stores can save a little, but bulk sizes, memberships and delivery fees—and even gas costs—can influence overall savings.

Trump Signs Orders to Ease Beef Costs by Boosting Imports and Rancher Aid

President Trump will sign two executive orders to lower beef prices by boosting imports and backing ranchers: one suspends part of the beef import tariff-rate quota, the other expands SBA loans and trims regulations while relaxing endangered-species protections; the moves aim to curb inflation pressures as drought raises costs and major meatpackers face antitrust scrutiny.

Oil climbs as Trump dismisses Iran’s war-ending terms

Oil prices rose in Asia after Trump dismissed Iran's response to US war-ending proposals as “totally unacceptable,” with Brent up about 3.8% to $105.20 a barrel and US crude around $99.30. Tehran’s terms, delivered via Pakistan, called for an immediate end to the conflict and guarantees against further US-Israeli attacks; Trump rejected them on social media. The Strait of Hormuz disruption remains a key backdrop, Netanyahu signaled the war would not end until Iran’s uranium stockpiles are removed, and a ceasefire from April has largely held.

Tomatoes spike on weather, tariffs and fuel costs squeezing supply

Tomatoes spike on weather, tariffs and fuel costs squeezing supply

Weather-driven crop shortfalls in Florida and Mexico, plus high diesel and fertilizer costs and a 17% tariff on Mexican tomatoes, have tightened US supply and driven prices higher. March tomato prices rose 15.3% month-over-month and are 22.6% higher than a year ago, while store shelves show tomatoes around $2.25 per pound (the highest in eight years). Farmers warn relief hinges on new crops coming in the next two weeks, with some growers shifting to greenhouse production in Canada to hedge against weather; costs for freight and packaging, fueled by high oil prices, are also a factor.

Inflation’s stubborn grip shapes the decade’s economy

Inflation’s stubborn grip shapes the decade’s economy

Inflation is no longer a temporary spike but a defining challenge of the 2020s as multiple shocks push price pressures higher across the economy. Gasoline surges drove a sharp monthly CPI jump and lifted year-over-year inflation to 3.3%, with a still-elevated 4.1% inflation rate over the recent three months. Americans’ attitudes toward the economy have deteriorated even as GDP holds up, with the misery index at 7.6% in March. Hiring has cooled to pandemic-era lows, wages growth has slowed, and AI-driven shifts in labor demand add uncertainty, suggesting conditions may worsen before they improve.
