Inflation at the grocery store down, but it doesn't feel like it
(WHTM) — Inflation is at its lowest level in three years and some food items are getting cheaper, but it may not feel that way. We're now in grilling season, and you probably noticed higher beef, chicken, and ground beef prices this Spring. But, some other grocery prices are actually down. Oreo maker Mondelez sues Aldi, alleging grocery chain copies its packaging to confuse customers A Texas A&M survey finds boneless chicken breasts are $1/lb higher than last year. Never mind steak: ground beef prices have hit a record high of $5.80/lb according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, meaning peak prices for peak grilling season. From the 'Doesn't That Stink' file, why lower grocery inflation doesn't feel like lower inflation. The latest government numbers show egg prices are down sharply the past two months. Pork, bacon, and orange juice prices are down too. The result: grocery inflation is up just 2.8% in 2025, but if you're grilling out, it's not going to feel like it.

Carousel house saved from former Williams Grove amusement park grounds
WILLIAMS GROVE, Pa. (WHTM) — A 101-year-old carousel house was moved from a former amusement park Friday. The Williams Grove Historical Steam Engine Association will eventually bring it onto their property.

'To be able to take the last piece of remaining of history out of the park and move it over here to restore it seemed like the right thing to do,' Dale Bentz, vice president of the association, said. 'Recreating history and preserving history, you only have one shot at it.'
