You must be vegan. Meat has doubled. The cheapest beef chuck roast at Walmart is $6.47/lb. vs. pre covid at $3-something. Pre-covid boneless pork loin was $1-something/lb vs. $3.38/lb today.
This time last year, 18 count eggs were $1.63 vs $2.05 today.
Canned tomatoes were 50 cents on my last grocery trip but are now 72 cents.

I just bought over 35# of sirloins, flat irons, cube steaks, ground beef, roasts, short ribs, etc, for $125.00 from the folks in Mason, TX. It is choice plus. After I bought a half of beef from them a year ago, I’m not going back to Supermarket beef.
Meanwhile WM coffee creamer has gone from $1.00 to $1.84, as has most stuff.
Meat has way more than doubled by me. 85/15 ground beef is almost $9/lb here. Looked at Ribeye Steaks yesterday, $19/lb. Passed on both.
Canned Tomato's are over $1/can here. If you buy the Hunts brand expect at least $1.50. Eggs are $2.49/doz and a loaf of generic store brand bread is $1.89.
I've been on a weight loss diet since April. My grocery bill back then was about $65. I buy the same staples weekly and rotate fruits and vegetables that I eat. I eat a lot of 4-5 veggie salads with 4oz of chicken for protein in them for dinner. Breakfasts for me are oatmeal and fruit, lunch is a veggie lettuce wrap and my snacks are typically nuts and yogurt with fruit.
What used to be $65 was $135 yesterday.
The food inflation is real and it sucks. Anyone who says it's not happening is a damn' liar.
