You’re buying the top end and are not price sensitive. This isn’t a criticism, but I would wager you dont feel a $1 increase in most groceries at all, compared to someone who has to choose between that item and heating their homes.

My free range eggs just plain didn't go up in price. In fact, I couldn't get them for a while because they were the same price as the low quality battery hen eggs and everyone just bought the good ones.

It's not a matter of price sensitivity - the top end hasn't changed prices.

Have they not? I buy pasture raised eggs which at my local Whole Foods used to be $5.99/dozen and lately have been $7.99/dozen. Granted, the $5.99 was cheaper than my other local grocery store, where they've been $7.99 all along (and I'm not sure what they've been charging recently).

I also only have anecdotes, but the prices of prices for free range eggs near me has been stable around $6/dozen for a long time.
