Rising inflation drives U.S. shoppers to buy more affordable, shelf-stable foods like pasta, rice, and canned goods.
Demand for affordable, shelf-stable pantry staples like Hamburger Helper, boxed mac and cheese, pasta, beans, rice, and canned meats is rising sharply across the U.S., according to 2025 grocery data.
Hamburger Helper sales jumped 14.5% from June to August, mirroring trends seen during past economic crises.
Rice sales rose 7.5%, and canned fish demand increased, driven by ongoing inflation, rising food prices—especially for meat, coffee, and produce—and economic uncertainty.
Despite inflation easing from its peak, its persistent impact on grocery budgets continues to push consumers toward low-cost, long-lasting meals.
Experts note these shifts reflect growing financial strain and predict the trend toward budget-friendly staples will likely continue as economic conditions remain unstable.
