IIRC the giant flats of Costco eggs went up to 3-4x their former price over the last year or so. Still a great deal, they're just not "holy shit that's practically free!" like before.
Weird. Eggs by the dozen (along with onions, one of the most volatile staples at the grocery store) are up only like 75% for me. Admittedly that's a lot and more than I had expected when I went and checked but I'm still seeing very different numbers.
I'm not sure other eggs are up as much as those large-flat Costco ones (60 eggs? Something like that). I have a feeling they were losing money on them before, they were so cheap.
Meanwhile pork and chicken are roughly the same as they've always been where I am, at least ignoring sale pricing.
Hell, I got 3.5 pounds of steak tips for $20 about a month ago.
My food costs have absolutely gone up, but it's MUCH closer to the "10 percent" figures quoted as inflation than anything close to what you have said. Where do you live and shop?
> I got 3.5 pounds of steak tips for $20 about a month ago.
A lot of cattle was recently liquidated (made into meat products, this year) as grazing fields have been drying up and, due to climate change, meat pipelines have had to start making MAJOR changes.
I want to clarify this was a specific prepackaged product that likely needed to be clearance because it wasn't popular. General purpose steak tips are NOT $6 a pound at my local hannaford. However, they aren't much more expensive than they are historically, which is why I'm looking for more info from the parent poster, who claims essentially 100% increase in product prices, while my personal experience on a wide array of items is closer to 10% on a sporadic list of things. I think they are experiencing some rather extreme local price situations.
So of the two items you cherry-picked to support an assertion that groceries have more than doubled, one is up...around 30-35%. In fact, there doesn't appear to be a single food item in this list that has doubled in the past year. Eggs are the closest.
But that's not the whole story. Prices are not primarily set by wholesale costs for many goods.
I think cereal has only gone up 30%, although there have been other events that influenced Kellogs pricing (notice how the Poptarts boxes have changed slightly) and then there has been the opportunity to steal away some extra profit - https://www.wxyz.com/news/now-cereal-prices-are-on-the-rise-...
