As grocery prices remain a concern for many families, News5 is tracking how far your dollar can stretch when shopping for everyday essentials in Southern Colorado. This week, we compared the cost of key grocery staples — milk, eggs, bread, and chicken — at major retailers across Colorado Springs and Pueblo.
Each Thursday, KOAA updates grocery prices at the top five stores in Colorado Springs and Pueblo as part of our KOAA Price Tracker. The weekly update helps families keep tabs on rising or falling costs for essential items like meat, dairy, and produce.
In Colorado Springs, the average price for a gallon of milk rose slightly to $3.49, up ten cents from last week. Meanwhile, egg prices dropped a bit, now averaging $2.89 per dozen, thanks to improved supply conditions.
Pueblo continues to offer slightly more affordable prices on some staples. There, milk averaged $3.29 per gallon, and eggs came in at $2.75 per dozen.
These fluctuations highlight ongoing shifts in supply chains and local market conditions — trends News5 will continue to monitor closely.
Our KOAA Price Tracker is updated every Thursday. You can find the price tracker at the top of our website under the Price Tracker navigation button.
Whether you're shopping for staples or planning your weekly meals, checking the tracker can help you find the best deals in your area.
