We buy great value for the most part. Walmart has their own dairy too starting in 2019 IIRC which helps on costs. But the exact pricing isn't the salient part, that's what the PP was getting at. It was the increase relative to that. Sure my eggs may only cost $1.22 today for 6 of them (which is what we buy) but in 6 months time they've increased about 45% (and it could have been shorter I'm just going off of our order history on Walmart).Oh I understand that my eggs increased. I just don't find the increases to be as large as some people are seeing on items. And every little bit adds up. FWIW, I've *never* seen the prices you report for milk or eggs. I mean, I think it's been well over 10 years or more since I've seen things that inexpensive. Alternatively, I don't seem to be seeing the same flucuations either so we just seem to stay at our high prices!
Bread in January 2022 was $1.88 great value but after that has been $2.12 although giving credit to that it's held steady this whole year.
That's why I said earlier we used to get more bang for our buck. I've watched our grocery bill drive up there when we're not altering our orders much, we still get bread, milk, onions, green peppers, chips, etc almost every grocery order. It's a combo of many things that lead to items going up but the larger picture of people complaining about what their paycheck gets them now I think is getting more talk because it's hitting so many things. I'm used to seeing milk for example go up and down but when that's added to the 20 other things it's annoying.
