Those comparable prices look like my shopping each week. I also pick up a few extra items whenever they're on "sale", which means they still cost more than they did. When you grow your garden, keep it out of the public eye. California can now confiscate your supplies to give to those starving illegals...coming soon to a city near you. (additional comment added)

not all of it did, for sure

if i am eating fish, the apocalypse IS HERE!!!!!
LOL

650 pounds of white rice, more coming

Wow!

Not to excuse Biden, but much of the current inflation is due to the scads of "stimulus" money pumped out during the Covid panic. That didn't happen on Biden's watch.

Got tuna and sardines. The other two I'm not keen on.

I meant to write, "If they feel like a them, let them roar." Name Unavailable must have tried to call me right about then. I like to say "I'm not available" and hang up whenever I see that stupid caller I.D. Distractions, distractions. It's always nice to have someone you don't ever want to talk to to blame.

Be sure you include fish on those canned foods. Sardines, Oysters, Tuna, Salmon.....very good for you and their shelf life is indefinite. nb

Methinks anything named Pelosi is a space cadet from the irrational planet Nanoo Nanoo, which can mean, "Say what feels good to 18-year-old voters" along with "My dream is open borders" and "Men can get pregnant" and "If he feels like a woman, let her roar" and "If everyone jumps off a bridge, do it."
Yoke of the Woke Correction: "If they feel like a woman, let them roar."

Yeah and that crazy nephew of Pelosi who is secretly visiting foreign countries and running unannounced for President who wants to pay all the people who work at these fast restaurants $20 an hour! That's the rise in prices! n

Buy buying a can or two of this and that grocery shopping, I've stocked up on canned food in case of any nationwide disaster be it due to an EMP attack, a plague far more serious than Covid, a solar flare, stupid Bidenomics or something I haven't thought of yet. Manual can openers only.

I have always stocked up on grocery 'sales' items.
My estimates show about a 60% to 200% increase in
'sales' prices on the things I usually buy in the past 3 years.

You might want to try making your own pizza, too.
If you have a bread maker appliance, making the dough is effortless and is about $1.
Adding your own ingredients probably adds another $2 to $3.
I like 'white' pizza with lots of fresh garlic, olive oil, and cheeses.
I haven't found any inexpensive version at any pizza restaurant.

I do get Domino's $8 pepperoni pizza on occasion on request of
my business partner and it's probably the most reasonable price
for 'fast food' that I have found. Funny how small a 'large' pizza
has become though.

Dominos pick-up
large pizza
$7.99

we went to an award ceremony for one of the grand-kids (it was full of lies about climate change and fossil fuels), we stopped at Wendy's on the way for food. was over #30 for 2 burger meals and a 6 piece nuggets...
not doing that again

we can get 2 pizzas at Dominos at that is 2 meals for each of us, 4 total for under $20, was $19.10 with one Large and one upgraded to X-Large both one topping.
down-side, we had to go get them, big deal, they are still hot and just out of the oven when we get there

At home I can make excellent spaghetti with meat (or turkey) sauce in
45 minutes for 6 adult meals for about $9 in ingredients.
That's about $1.50 per meal for ingredients (and electricity.)
Compared to any of the fast foods, it tastes much better, is more
nutritious, and hasn't been sneezed on by a teenager of dubious health.
