How Are Grocery Prices In Your State?

Nationwide, food prices have increased by 31% in the past six years. However, according to a Wallethub analysis, not all states have been impacted equally. The site compared the cost of groceries with each state’s median monthly income, and found that Mississippi residents spend 2.64% of their income on food. West Virginia comes in second place, with 2.57% of their income going toward groceries. Citizens of New Jersey, Maryland, and Massachusetts spend less of a percentage on food, but they also have higher median incomes. (Mashed)
