    BS! There’s absolutely nothing I’ve seen in any grocery store that has only gone up <10%. Most items are 20% at a minimum, but more like 30%+.

    Not only that, but shrinkflation has affected everything! “Pasta products: +8.3 per cent”… yeah, you’re paying 8% more for 50% less!

    “Potatoes: +9.3 per cent (+7.6 per cent)” again, 9% increase but you’re paying for 5lbs instead of 10lbs bags! You get half the amount for twice the price!

    “Apples: +6.6 per cent (+10.6 per cent)” Where have they only gone up 6%??? Apples used to be $0.49 - $0.99 / lb, and now it’s pretty common to see $2.99/lb for apples grown down the street!

    “Dairy products: +7.4 per cent (+7.5 per cent)” Nevermind that, because non-dairy products have doubled in price!
