A couple years ago we had a waitress joked that no one in TV cooks anymore and she was wondering if they forgot to put kitchen in the homes.
Not anymore, I see the worm turning. 
I used the McDonalds receipt when ordering my egg McMuffin and get one free.

This is not a Fl thing. We just traveled regularly to several states visiting family. Prices are skyrocketing everywhere.
This is from the era.usda.gov
Average annual food-at-home prices were 5.0 percent higher in 2023 than in 2022. For context, the 20-year historical level of retail food price inflation is 2.5 percent per year. Price growth slowed in 2023 compared with 2022, when food-at-home prices rose by 11.4 percent. Prices for fats and oils rose the fastest in 2023 (9.0 percent), followed by sugar and sweets (8.7 percent), and cereals and bakery products (8.4 percent).
