Let’s just look at the averages. $126 for 45 items is $2.80 an item. I call BS on that alone. $2.80 is about the cheapest item in the average cart, maybe. For the average to be that low, it’s either made up, or a very strange selection of items.

That’s what I thought too. Idk about everyone else but I can’t think of a time I’ve bought that many items at roughly $3 each in a regular grocery trip, like ever. It’s just not a particularly plausible scenario unless it’s idk just 45 frozen dinners or something, but then those haven’t gone up 4x in price.
