That "notably increased" is putting it mildly. By my estimations, average prices are 50-100% higher than before the pandemic which is way higher than the official figure of around 20%. My shopping is without frills, just basic ingredients (fruits, vegetables, meats, grains, etc), minimal processing, and no brand names.
