My mom and I sometimes call each other just to say how much we spent on x bags of groceries. Before the horrible inflation we would be complaining about 30-40 dollars of food in 2 bags. Now I can easily drop 60+ on 2 bags. We usually double bag so we can fit a decent amount in 1 bag but still it's rediculous. Add in non food items like shampoo/body wash and it adds up alot quicker

I think gorcery stores are capitalizing on the inflation excuse and raising prices even higher than they otherwise should. I bet almost all grocery store chains are going to have record profit this year.
