Help Advisor says it analyzed U.S. Census Household Pulse Survey data released in November 2023 in order to determine the most expensive states for grocery shopping. The table excludes Alaska and Hawaii, Help Advisor notes.
The national weekly average of food spending was $270.21, according to the study.

California ($297.72), Nevada ($294.76), Mississippi ($290.64), Washington ($287.67) and Florida ($287.27).
