Sorry to say, I keep forgetting to record my grocery price increases for the forum, but I offer this singleton as an indicator of -- I dunno, YIKES?

$4.19

What was it before?

You can get a six-pack on Amazon for $15.

Elsewhere it's offered for between $2.50-3 or thereabouts. So I think the $4 is an Instagram markup.

Just bought some Kroger house-brand ranch on sale. $1.29.

Related to a specific issue, my Shopper just texted this: "Still massive supply chain issues."

Massive.

Very generally speaking, I "feel" like most grocery story items have gone up about 25% in price. For example, coffee creamer that was 3.99 now is about 4.99.

Elderly white women are busy creating the politics of our nation and do not have time for this frivolity.

Ha, saw that. The increase from 38 to 50 in the last year fits the 25% observation, but I know you said it was much lower than that 2 years ago. <Ax> Have you tried growing your own dog food? </Ax>

Funny you should ask. If you go back to old vet manuals, there are dog food recipes for all kinds of conditions. I've done it. For special diets, it can be a PITA.

Oh, yeah. Instacart marks everything way up. Like 25% or more.
