Anecdotally agree 100% with this. I notice that the grocery prices for food that I typically purchase have either risen noticeably (by as much as 12% for certain Asian food items) and/or are suffering from shrinkflation (e.g., when I make breakfast for me and my wife, I was not able to fit four bread slices on an IKEA plate that I use at home; but starting a couple of weeks ago, the bread slices--same brand and still paid the same price of $1.50/bag--now fit perfectly on the IKEA plate and this is not just because of the abnormally small batch of bread. I have bought bread two weeks in a row to know for sure that the sizes have shrunk).
