Insufficient data - supports several modeks.

If you are trying to lose weight, shifting away from sugary & processed foods & meat to high-quality fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc. can definitely increase your grocery bill while reducing your weight in a very healthy way. Food bill may go down by going directly to farmers, but travel & fetching costs increase.

Or, it could be an unhealthy shift towards more processed foods, costing more in factory work & transport, and you are seeing real inflation.

So, insufficient data to indicate inflation or not.

Wasn’t trying to lose weight and my diet remained essentially the same other than modification due to cost (mainly less meat).

I had a fixed grocery budget, and over months, I lost weight due to a caloric deficit. Literally I bought less food with the same money and the result was just over a pound a month lost .

I'm sorry to hear that you are having such difficulties; I hope things improve for you soon.

That is the data we need to confirm that you're seeing inflation. Curious where you are located that you are seeing these numbers?

It’s ok, I might be poor but I’m pretty happy despite the disability.

I live in a city an hour away from Toronto, Canada.
