Not even going to beat the dead horse known as egg-prices because that poor beast has been beaten to mush.
Coffee, for example, at Meijer has gone up. Sale price this week is $8.99. Not too long ago, that was regular price and sale would be $6.99 or $7.99 and I'd usually get some sort of coupon.
Chips have gone up everywhere, but they're not necessary so I just wait for a good price and buy if/when I find it.
Avocados are all over the place. A couple of weeks ago, Jewel (or da Jewels, if you're from Chicago) had Haas Avocados on sale for $0.69/each, using their app. Last week, Meijer had 6-packs of small avocados for $1 as part of their 7-for-7 promotion - there's a specific list of items that you can get for $1 each, provided you buy 7 or more. It helped that the list contained items that I would be buying anyway so I didn't spend extra to "save" money.
It's definitely become a game. In the past, Jewel was the premium-priced store to shop, and Meijer was usually reasonable, but lately it's paid to scan the ads to see who has what on sale. Fortunately, both stores (plus Aldi) are close enough that I'm not wasting gas/time driving around between stores. And one other thing, if you have Menards nearby, they handle a fair amount of shelf-stable and some refrigerated/frozen foods so it may be worth checking out the food area when you're out shopping for that new circular saw or house paint.

Some foodstuffs might already be pricing these tariffs, too.
