US wage earner food inflation (CPI-W) rebounded strongly to 340.141 in November 2025, jumping approximately 0.5% month-over-month, wiping out the brief pullback in October and setting a new historical record. Although egg prices showed a significant decline, constrained by tightening beef supplies, soaring coffee costs, and persistently high prices for food away from home, the year-over-year growth rate approached 3%, indicating that core inflationary pressure remains stubborn ahead of the year-end peak consumption season.
