[quote=Anonymous] We cook from scratch and it's always significantly cheaper than store-bought/restaurants on average, even when we buy organic and high quality foodstuffs. We've always taken advantage of sales. We're Amazon Prime members so we get discounts at Fresh and Whole Foods, and we also buy certain things for cheaper at Trader Joe's and H-Mart. Since we've always been careful, our food expenses have gone up with inflation, of course. But this is normal. In your lifetime, prices will rise. They won't rise in a linear way. There will be spikes of inflation. As a PP said, it wouldn't be normal for prices to go back down to pre-inflation levels. All this is actually to be expected, OP. People need to factor that in for salary, other incomes and retirement. Your dollars will progressively not buy as much over the decades. [/quote]
