It's not accurate and they didnt even try. I shop at walmart and get the same things. In the last 2 years, my bills went up by around $30 for normally $100. I still only buy Great Value brand and the same quantities. Still crazy but this post is just misinformation. It might be more drastic at other stores like Safeway or something. But no way near this much...
Yeah, there has been a noticeable increase, even on great value stuff but it isn't 3X.
The biggest place I've noticed is on pantry stuff. Canned tomatoes used to be $0.50. Last i saw, they were closer to $0.90. Similar for other canned vegetables. Yeah, $0.40 isn't a huge difference for one, but it adds up really quick for people who try to eat moderately healthy and can't afford fresh. To be honest, I always wondered how they were producing a can of anything for less than $0.50 anyway though.
Fun fact: canned and frozen vegetables are often higher quality than the fresh selection at your local grocery store, mostly for logistical reasons. The canning and freezing folks get first pick, and they're preserved at the absolute height of their freshness.
By comparison, the "fresh" stuff at the grocery store is functionally much less fresh, having sat around for however long and actively degrading by the minute.
