[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is bizarre in so many ways but... I really haven't seen this kind of significant price increase anywhere in the last month? I live inside the Beltway and have shopped Lidl, Giant and Whole Foods in that time. Oh, and the Amish market, but that probably doesn't count. What am I missing? [/quote]

The price increases are hit and miss.  I was just out tonight with this thread in mind and got my vegetables, salads, yogurt, and luncheon meat for basically the same prices they have been.  But there are items that have really crept up, like soda and canned soup already mentioned here.  Things that are never really off-season are more noticeable because they don’t vary in a normal time.[/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to, and I guess I just haven't seen it? I forgot to mention that I also shopped at Snider's last week (independent grocery store).

I bought soda at Giant the other day and it was normally-priced IMO. I buy lots of packaged products, not just fresh/"whole" foods. And I always look at prices. Either I've just lucked out over many trips for all kinds of food, I just haven't noticed the few costlier items, or I'm not... buying some of the things listed here, like organic strawberries from WF (?) or free-range eggs?  IDK. I'm sure it's not just a misperception/confirmation bias on the part of others, right? (genuine question-- there must be data?)[/quote]
