Food prices increased 0.6 percent for the month of June. The index for food at home (grocery store purchases) was up 0.7 percent, with rising prices in 4 of the 6 major grocery store food groups. The index for food away from home (restaurant, cafeteria, and vending purchases) advanced 0.3 percent for the same period. Within the food at home category, the indexes for other food at home (+1.5 percent) and nonalcoholic beverages and beverage materials (+3.5 percent) contributed most to the increase.

Food prices were up 3.0 percent over the year. The index for food at home advanced 2.7 percent, with all six major grocery store categories contributing to the rise. Prices for food away from home rose 3.7 percent. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs (+6.1 percent) led the increases in the food at home category.

The energy index advanced 3.2 percent over the month, largely due to higher prices for electricity (+6.8 percent). The indexes for natural gas service and gasoline both increased in June, up 3.0 percent and 0.9 percent, respectively.

From June 2024 to June 2025, energy prices rose 0.1 percent. The combined increase from the natural gas service index (+18.5 percent) and the electricity index (+7.5 percent), were almost entirely offset by a decrease in the index for gasoline (-9.7 percent).

The Consumer Price Index for July 2025 is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at 7:30 a.m. (CT).

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. The Consumer Price Index for the Midwest region is published monthly. The set of components and sub-aggregates published for regional and metropolitan indexes is more limited than at the U.S. city average level; these indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program.

The Midwest region is comprised of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Refer to the national CPI news release technical note or the Handbook of Methods for more information.
