      Inflation doesn’t feel great but the cost of groceries is a different metric. Grocery prices are still up and rising faster than inflation.

      In my opinion groceries probably should cost more but rent and several other expenses should be far lower. How long ago was it that budgeting 1/3 of income for food was considered normal?
