But one trip around the supermarket tells the true story.

Yep. And it’s not just prices. It’s the quantity being packaged now as well. It seems to be shrinking with several items. Anyone else notice this?
I bought some Triscuits because I had a decent coupon and they had a new flavor that interested me. The size of the box is dramatically reduced from what it used to be, and then you open it up and half of the plastic bag inside is empty. Regular price is just under $4. I paid half that and was still ripped off. The escalations in price and reductions in quantity will lead to brand extinctions someday. Someday being when the EBT crowd can’t buy them with our money anymore.
