I don't know how they think we're all going to survive with these prices.

I haven't changed my shopping habits, but I definitely notice the ripoffs of significantly higher prices on some of the same food items I've been buying for years. Overall it's still much cheaper to buy groceries and make your own food than the vast majority of restaurants and such.

Fast food prices have gotten more noticeably higher than groceries have in my area. So I assume that most of the people I hear complaining the loudest about "Inflation" are the ones who eat fast food as a staple of their diet.

Nah, I remember when I could fill an entire cart with food and it'd be about $75 way back in the ancient days of 2019. Now I'd have to pay double to do that and even then I might end up with less food.
