People down voting aren't are the ones grocery shopping.

I also think people are missing the fact that while prices have gone up, shrinkflation has been out of control.

So while it may look like "only" a 50% increase for the package, the price per unit (often by weight) ends up being more like a 75% increase.

I have containers which wouldn't be able to store a regular sized box of regular cereal, but now it gets to 3/4 full with the "family sized" version of the same cereal. And I'm paying double for it. Some of the cereal boxes look comically thin, like cigarette packages. And you're paying 2-3x more by weight. Absolute insanity.
