Prices are insane. A small bag of groceries last week cost around $88. There was some meat which I usually buy at the local butcher since its cheaper and better quality but it is insane to think that one bag cost that much.
I used to spend ~$200 for 3-4 weeks of groceries and it was a full cart. That was probably only 6 years ago, not like 20 years.

From the post:
>Inflation has eroded around a third of the buying power of $100 at the grocery store in five years, new analysis has found.
In 2019, the sum would have bought shoppers a healthy 32-item bag complete with milk, eggs, cereal, dish soap and more.
However today customers would have to take at least 10 of those products out of their basket to maintain the same budget.
