Whoever says the inflation rate is only 6% or whatever, obviously doesn't do their own grocery shopping!!!! How in the hades did my husband & I spend over $600 for groceries last month for just the two of us?? We mostly live out of our freezers & pantry (thanks to my home-canned stuff) except for stuff like bread, milk, eggs, fresh greens, fruit and the occasional items to replenish the pantry (canned goods, salad dressing, etc. - and we don't buy many of them because I keep a pretty good stock on hand after the Covid lockdowns). There's no way that should have added up to over $600.... Especially since I shop mark down bins, generics, etc.

How is an average family supposed to feed themselves??? I can't imagine what it would be if I was still feeding two teenagers.....
I bought 6 chicken wings at Kroger's paying $13.47.....FOR SIX WINGS!!!. I also bought a box of Shake-N-Bake for chicken which cost almost $4 a box. Just a few years ago I could buy the 6 chicken wings for around $3.75 and the Shake-N-Bake for around $2.75!!
