| Subcategory | YoY % | Category | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bread and cereal products | +2.3% | Staples | Stable; limited pack size changes observed. |
| Meat and seafoods | +5.4% | Proteins | Beef & veal +11.9%, Lamb & goat +14.6% — strong export demand driving prices. |
| Dairy and related products | +6.3% | Proteins | Milk and cheese main drivers. |
| Fruit and vegetables | +0.7% | Fresh | Recent moderation; fruit prices fell sharply in the month (tropical fruits). |
| Food products n.e.c. | +1.3% | Packaged | Snacks & confectionery +4.1% (chocolate higher). Watch for shrinkflation in packs. |
| Non-alcoholic beverages | +3.3% | Beverages | Steady; coffees, juices, waters. |
| Meals out & take away foods | +3.7% | Out-of-home | Wages + ingredient costs passed through. High visibility for consumers. |
- • Track unit prices on staples (meat, dairy, snacks) where pack sizes have quietly shrunk.
- • Meals out & takeaway (+3.7%) often hides ingredient + wage pass-through.
- • Fruit & veg moderation is welcome but volatile — seasonal swings common.
Can I see grocery prices for my suburb?
Individual grocery pricing at a suburb level isn't available in our data. The ABS collects grocery inflation at the national and capital-city level through the CPI, but there is no official dataset tracking prices by suburb or individual store. For the most localised grocery pricing, check your preferred supermarket's website or weekly catalogue for current prices at your nearest store.
