Bro I walked into a local health food store, bought a kombucha, 2 small egg salad cartons for dinner, a bag of chips cooked in avocado oil (because I'm a hippie fag obviously) and a package of smoked salmon and spent 72 fucking dollars...

My in-law does director ordering from the farms for vegetables. In 2019 he said it was common to buy a box of lettuce for under 5.00 wholesale, he said the companies now won't sell for less than 12.00 or they lose money. He said it's now common for him to pay 13-16 dollars per box. So food has tripled in five years. That's a real-world example at the wholesale level. (side note: that SOB must make 200k + a year doing that job)
