What food items in your area increased in price? In Houston I didn't notice much of a change in food prices. Only Church's Chicken 3 pc special going from $1.99 to $2.49, it's $2.69 in other cities! And Waffle House stopped giving both Grits and Hash browns in their omelet special - it's now only either choice. Groceries are still way cheap here!
But it's in Chicago where I noticed big increases in food prices. I visited my favorite 2 pig out restaurants and they increased their prices. $3.60 2 Taco special with Orchata went up to $4.30. Quarter Dark chicken special went from $4.60 to $5.10! Aldi dry milk powder went up from $6.99 a box to $12.99! 25 lb rice bag went from $10.95 to $22.95!
My mom and aunt don't each much rice now and changed their rice diet! And they unexpectedly lost weight!
