people FEEL the inflation when they have to return overpriced groceries to the shelf and when they can’t afford to go to a diner or a show anymore, or when they can’t afford to heat their homes, or put gas in their cars

Quite correct.

One thing about food that it seems many people are missing is how much "poor people" food has gone up.

You used to be able to shop store brands and basic food stuffs and be ok. It was not an exciting menu but it was a balance diet.

Eggs, bread, milk, potatoes, carrots, onions and a bit of stew meat used to be what you saw in the carts of people who were on a budget. Oatmeal used to be a buck fifty a box. It is now over five dollars. Soup that was 50 cents a can is now a dollar twenty-five. The cheapest Ramen was ten cents a pack, it is now thirty cents a pack. Box mac and cheese has gone from 50 cents to a dollar.

We grow a lot of our food so until I started taking a neighbor of ours to the store I did not see what was going on as strongly.

Thanks for the info

Yes. Basic foods and lower- cost store or private brands for folks on limited budgets have gone up at least as much as more expensive brand- names foods. It is a very serious strain on people. And they don’t deserve to be treated this way
