I guess I’d be the outlier in your friend group. I haven’t noticed a significant change in our regular grocery bills. Optional purchases by and far dominate, and the biggest factor for our grocery bill is whether or not we bought alcohol, not the change in meat prices.

Aside from rent, the only things I’ve noticed significant price changes in have been items undergoing acute supply shocks, such as lumber. And most of those have calmed down since mid last year.

I'd agree with your assessment.
