I do the shopping for my household. We eat pretty much the same stuff from trip to trip with the exception of maybe what fruit is in season / on sale. I shop at the same store. And I can tell you that since 2019, my same pile of groceries is more than double what it used to be. Yes, the rate of increase has slowed, but food is very expensive on a relative basis.
A lot of beefs about food prices here. Basically we have two major grocers in Florida, Publix and Walmart. Not a monopoly but close. Can argue that we have Sams but who owns Sams(rhetorical). We spend about 1/2 of our food budget at Aldi. Not bad but choices are limited
