Meat prices are expected to increase over the coming weeks and months.

• Flour – Flour and yeast have limited supply and it is challenging to keep up with demand.
• Sugar – The supply is still working to catch up.
• Milk – The supply is good, with no issues.
• Eggs – Costs are stabilizing, though other parts of supply chain (e.g., packaging) are still working to catch up.
• Cheese – The supply is good, with no issues.
• Paper & Bath Tissue – The supply of paper towels continues to improve. Demand for bath tissue continues to drop, but is still higher than normal.
