NYC, Manhattan Perhaps where you are things are cheaper. But I am comparing just my local grocery store and the price increases are very noticeable.

It's not really reasonable to extrapolate from one of the richest, most expensive places in the world. Manhattan has a unique set of circumstances that drive prices there that often do not apply anywhere outside of the NYC metro area.

Small town in Texas here, my experience reflects the New Yorker above. Not the same prices obviously, but the same rate of increase.
