Tracking gas and grocery store prices across the Twin Cities

A walk down a grocery aisle can be a bit unpredictable these days after years of rising prices.

Molly Doyle of Mendota Heights, Minnesota has three hungry boys. She said back in January, "The biggest thing, I'd say eggs, it's probably triple the amount it used to be 4 years ago ."

She's not the only one. For months , WCCO has been hearing many Minnesotans complain about rising prices.

Since January, WCCO has been monitoring and averaging prices at Aldi in Apple Valley, Minnesota, Cub Foods in North Minneapolis and Target in Fridley, Minnesota. We tracked four items and in general have found, bread is down slightly, milk is up slightly, eggs are down and chicken is about the same.

In January, the total average of the four items without tax, was $19.20. In May, it went down to $17.97
