I dont have to, I do it because I want to.
Theres literally nothing wrong with reduced meat lol, you'd have to be r-slurred to think there was.
By all means keep spending more for no reason.

You're missing the point. Entirely.
Obviously not everybody can buy "reduced" products because then the grocers would all be losing money.
For the average person - who isn't going to dig through the almost-expired section every time they go to the store - the cost of groceries has significantly increased. That's what they care about.
Not to mention that if you were to buy all "reduced" products 5 years ago you'd be spending substantially less.

Theres no special section for almost expired stuff btw. Its right there with regular stuff.
My point is if you cant eat well today for fairly cheap you suck at shopping and are likely a fat.

So what? This has been true at basically any time in the US in about the last hundred years. The great depression being the exception.
But it doesn't matter. That's not what people are comparing. They're comparing the prices from 5 years ago to the prices today with the same shopping habits (bc they're not gonna change).

I obviously can't speak to your market so maybe you're bucking the trend but regular shit here has definitely gone up. Basic stuff like produce, meat, bread, pasta, canned goods, etc. I'm not even counting shit like prepared foods.

And I'm totally going to just take your word that this is happened when it contradicts not just my own experience but also all metrics I've seen in the news about prices.
"just trust me bro the prices totally aren't going up" uh huh
Let's do a simple one that has a nice long shelf life. 1-pound boxes of pasta. Kroger brand, since I assume you work there as I see a bunch of their branding on your "hauls" here. What were they priced at 5 years ago? What are they priced at today?

I mainly deal with produce bud. For example yams are 89 cents a pound right now, which is what they were last year.
A turkey is 69 cents a pound if you spend 50, and free if you spend 150. 99 cents a pound outside of that.
Apples were 99 cents a pound all of last week.
Rice is exactly where it was.
Chicken was basically free last week.
An 8 pound bag of jumbo potato is 3.99, a 10 pound bag of regular is 4.29.
