Grocery Price Tracker in Colorado Springs May 2026: What's Going Up and Down
Colorado Springs grocery prices in May 2026
Tracking community-submitted prices across Colorado Springs grocery stores, we found Bread & Bakery medians dropped while Prepared Meals edged up. Dairy & Eggs and Snacks & Candy medians barely moved month-over-month.
Bread & Bakery: Prices eased
The median per-pound price for weight-based Bread & Bakery items fell about 11%, from $3.59/lb to $3.19/lb. The drop is partly driven by a sale on Nature's Own Life Honey Wheat Keto Bread (20 oz) at King Soopers for $3.99 ($3.19/lb), and ongoing low prices on White Sandwich Bread (20 oz) at $1.99 ($1.59/lb).
Prepared Meals: A small bump
Median Prepared Meals prices rose roughly 7%, from $2.41/lb to $2.59/lb. The bulk of the current-period data in this category is canned soup at $2.99 for ~18.5 oz cans (Progresso and Campbell's Chunky lines) — so the “rise” reflects what's on shelves this month, not a broad inflation story. The standout deal is Mexican Style Vegetables (12 oz) on sale at King Soopers for $1.50 ($2.00/lb).
Dairy & Eggs and Snacks & Candy: Flat medians, real sales
Per-pound medians for both Dairy & Eggs ($4.66/lb) and Snacks & Candy (~$1.62/lb) held steady against the prior month. The action is on individual sales, not category-wide moves:
- Eggland's Best Cage Free Eggs (36 oz pack) at King Soopers: $2.79 from $5.49 — 49% off.
- Non-Fat Greek Yogurt Fruit on the Bottom (5.3 oz) at King Soopers: $3.99 from $5.49 — 27% off.
- Simple Truth Organic 2% Reduced Fat Milk (2 gal) at King Soopers: $3.99 from $4.99 — 20% off.
- General Mills Cheerios Milk 'N Cereal Bars (11.2 oz) at King Soopers: $3.99 from $5.69 — 30% off.
