More of a mystery to me is the handful of items that haven’t budged in price at all. Maybe they have high profit margins that have absorbed some of the inflation or are considered loss leaders but it mystifies me.

That is a clue for how long and complex some supply chains are...for some products it takes well over a year for inventory to make its way through the supply pipeline.
