Not all $100 grocery budgets are created equal in America. There are 24 states, or nearly half of the United States, where a $100 grocery budget covers what would cost $100 or less nationally, according to a new original research study from GOBankingRates.
GOBankingRates utilized the 2024 Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey to source household costs for various grocery expenditures. Each state’s grocery cost-of-living index was sourced to calculate the statewide averages for each expenditure. From there, the actual cost for each state’s various grocery expenditures along with the purchasing power for each expenditure was calculated using a $100 grocery budget.
Key Findings
- Arkansas, Mississippi and North Dakota are the top three states where a $100 grocery budget goes the furthest. This amount covers what would cost $108 nationally in Arkansas and $106 in Mississippi and North Dakota.
- Hawaii flopped in last place. In Hawaii, a $100 grocery budget covers what would cost $76.63 nationally. Alaska fared just as poorly at #49 with $80.39.
- Utah was a surprising outlier in the top 10. In eighth place, a $100 grocery budget in Utah covers what would cost $95.70 nationally. The nine other rankings were exclusively Southern and Midwestern states.
- Americans spend $1,305 or more annually on meat, poultry, fish and eggs in every state.
- Fruits and vegetables eat up more than $1,000 in annual grocery costs in 10 states. Americans spend the least to most money annually on fresh produce in Rhode Island ($1,006), Florida ($1,007), Washington ($1,015), Oregon ($1,017), Connecticut ($1,020), Maryland ($1,020), California ($1,024), Vermont ($1,025), Alaska ($1,186) and Hawaii ($1,244).
