I keep a monthly accounting of my grocery costs (along with all other expenses) in a spreadsheet. I haven't seen my grocery bill increase by anywhere close to 40% over the past two years.
edit: My bill went from ~$600 to ~$650 using a 4 month window rolling average.
- maxfurman 5y agoThis seems to be an ~8% increase, in line with the numbers from the linked article.
- the-dude 5y agoWhy omit your actual increase?
- mbbutler 5y agoJust added it.
- 01100011 5y agoDoes that account for shrinkflation? Personally I have noticed I now alter the foods I choose to buy because of the high prices. I am buying more staples and trying to cut costs because the price of seemingly everything besides dairy and chicken(when you can find wings that is) has gone up.
- UncleMeat 5y agoI'm personally observing a similar increase (a little less than 10%) in my monthly grocery bill. Virtually nothing I purchase has been affected by shrinkflation. The only notable exception is paper towels.
- mbbutler 5y agoDue to dietary restrictions my basket has remained mostly unchanged for years. Every grocery trip is basically vegetables, meat, brown rice, milk, cheese, and cooking oils or spices if needed.
