I do my elderly Mom's grocery shopping. The price of a big tub of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter has almost doubled in price since three months ago..almost eight bucks now, up from four and some change last time I bought it.

The biggest increases would likely be in the first half of next year...

FWIW, We do some of our grocery shopping at Walmart because it is the cheapest game in town and I’ve noticed price increases on a variety of items in the 12% to 25% range. Canned veggies, ramen noodles, yogurt, hotdogs, and so on.

I also tend to pay attention to sale prices, and I’ve noticed that advertised sale items don’t go as low as they use to.

Kraft mayo is over $5! Of course, we only buy it when it’s on sale. Butter is ridiculous and meat prices are gonna force a lot of us to become vegetarians!
