So you're saying that grocery prices today are mostly the same as they were in 2019?

  no i didn’t say that, i just mean that if there’s upscaling happening in eggs, meat, dairy then averages will look higher than if that wasn’t happening it’s still going to be higher, but not necessarily as much as it’s being portrayed if you’re buying conventional stuff

    Good for you and well done that you're able to afford to buy better stuff. But there's a big group of people that has a problem buying food now and didn't have that problem 5 years ago. I think on average probably the opposite of what you're suggesting is happening - people are buying cheaper goods, which to a small degree can mask the real price increase.

      the egg section looks completely different now than a few years ago. clearly there is a lot of new demand for $10/dozen organic pasture raised no corn or soy eggs. these are options that weren’t even available even a few years ago.
