Bought Kraft mayo lately? The 32 oz jar is now 30 oz and about $1 more.
Pasta now in 12 oz ‘pound’ boxes.

The only items I haven’t noticed taking quantum leaps in price is fresh veggies. And when summer is over I suspect that will change also.

Funny, the CPI is flat. Of course they don’t count unneeded items such as food and fuel. /s

Mayonnaise too high? Make your own, it's WAY cheaper (and tastes better than Kraft in any case). And here's a very good article on how to do it.

Making mayonnaise, in detail

Frozen veggies are way up too. I was paying 99 cents for a 32 oz. bag a year ago on sale. Now even on sale they are $2.00 or more. I have been buying the small packages with a coupon that I double instead, so I am still getting them cheap, but who knows what the winter months will bring. I notice the coupons are getting smaller and the opportunity for doubling them is getting harder to find.
