Kentucky among hardest-hit states for grocery costs, report says. How much we spend

Kentucky residents spend more of their income on groceries than the majority of states, according to a recent analysis, with inflation driving costs further up. Consumer Affairs, a for-profit consumer research publication, reported in its Oct. 27 analysis, “ Where Are Americans Most Burdened by Grocery Costs? (2026) ,” Kentucky ranked No. 10 in the nation. Arkansas was named the No. 1 state for the highest grocery cost burden, while Oklahoma was in 50th. “The same grocery bill can be manageable for a family in one state and a financial strain for a family in another, depending on household income,” the Consumer Affairs report said. Consumer Affairs reported the average Kentucky household spends about 10.6% of the commonwealth’s median household income on groceries. Kentucky’s median household income is $64,526, and average estimated annual grocery spending amounts to $6,854 . To compile the analysis, Consumer Affairs used grocery sales data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture as well as household size and income data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey . Grocery costs increased by 1.8% from September 2025 to September 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with steeper hikes for produce, nonalcoholic beverages, cereals and bakery

Will Jim Beam distill next year in Clermont? The latest on Kentucky's bourbon giant

Major Kentucky distillery Jim Beam, which stunned the world in December 2025 b y closing its Clermont distillery for a year , plans to keep it offline at least through 2027. “We’re going to continue to have distillation paused at our Clermont distillery,” said Suntory president and CEO Greg Hughes in an interview with the Herald-Leader. “But Clermont remains a very active part of our Kentucky operations.” The campus, which has been the bourbon brand’s home just outside of Bardstown for 90 years, continues to operate tours and visitor experiences as well as bottling, aging, warehousing and other daily activities. But the bulk of distilling shifted to the larger industrial Booker Noe distillery in Boston. Hughes said that after a $400 million expansion there a few years ago that increased distilling capacity by 50%, Beam was able to meet current distilling demands there while making improvements at the Clermont site. They’d originally planned to reopen sooner and still will someday. “We’ll move back at some point to distilling at Clermont,” he said. “If demand accelerates dramatically, we have the flexibility to go back into production at Clermont. Obviously, we need to get the infrastructure improvements made, which will take us
