Anyone know of a publicly available data of grocery prices for staple products month over month? I really wish I would have saved my grocery receipts over the

  If you buy from Whole Foods and have Amazon Prime, your receipts are in your order history forever. It's actually been informative, because amidst all of the breathlessness from the past two years, every time I have bothered to check, most of the prices I'm paying haven't gone up at all or have gone up a tiny bit. I buy almost all raw ingredients and cook from scratch, which maybe just works differently than processed goods sold by Coca Cola and what not, or Whole Foods was just so overpriced to begin with that they didn't bother raising. My grocery bills overall have definitely gone up, but that's because I stopped eating out and buy a lot more groceries.

      Not if you budgeted takeout in a separate category.

I'd imagine that when GP "eats out," they don't do so at the grocery store/supermarket. I know I don't. Usually I'll go to a restaurant. Which may make my overall food bills go up, but it certainly doesn't increase my grocery bills.

        The few times I've eaten out at a grocery store has been at a Whole Foods. Their hot food bar and fresh pizza area is nice and they often have a small bar with seating available.
