World food prices hit 10-year peak

I wouldn’t count your expensive example as they are 3rd party sold and shipped, not something that could be picked up at the local store. Very misleading example.

I don't get this - being hyperfocused on completely irrelevant details.

"That blue race car has a low suspension making it hard to drive on the streets."

"Wrong, the car is a navy color, very misleading example."

Yes, the most expensive at the walmart physical store are $7-8 for 8 after tax. The point of the example is that 60 buns are a hundred bucks. The guy never said how many buns he bought. There are 8 per package, he could have bought 3 boxes. The example is that not given quantity the price could be anything, and the OP's post where he gives a total for an unknown quantity or brand of anything, is not useful to support a claim that prices went up.

They said "Yesterday at Walmart i bought", not "Yesterday at Walmart.com sold and shipped by Otoric - Free 2Day Shipping* | Otoric Inc. i bought"

Buying food from third parties online is not the same as in store.

Still stuck on the fact that navy isn't blue. Even after I explained it. Enjoy your autism I guess?

It's a pretty terrible case for "everything is getting crazy expensive".

If that 28 buck cost stems from all his ultrapremium/expensive brands, that's on him, not inflation.
