Prices are rising a bit. Restaurant Prices are up. Haircut prices went up. Store shelves use facing to make them look like the shelf is full. I might suggest you get yourself 6 months to 1-year of food as a backup

mostly I've notice higher prices on common cleaning supplies and not food, but I think the higher prices are coming from the manufacturers, not the stores.

Yes. But, thankfully, that is the least of my concerns.  And, I suppose many are saving money on not eating out.  I'm paying more for delivery and I tip a lot.  I don't mind as they deserve it and have allowed me to reduce stress as I'm immuno compromised. I send them really nice notes, too.

Very much so...Especially for meats, seafood/fish, and citrus...Dairy is less and I just paid 99 cents a dozen for large eggs this morning...I'm fortunate to live in southeastern Pennsylvania and fresh produce is everywhere at roadside stands this time of year...Wonderful sweet corn at $4.00 a baker's dozen, homegrown LARGE cantaloupes for $1.00 each, zucchinis for 25 cents, eggplant for 75 cents, huge bell peppers for 3 for a $1.00 etc. . Tomatoes are so plentiful I can buy a box of them for $5.00 at one local stand...I'd be interested in what other's experiences are right now too... Enjoy your day everyone.

Severe mismanagement of the USDA over the last 3.5 years combined with trade policies set down by a moron, and a lack of agricultural labor due to ICE will lead to skyrocketing prices and starvation in our country for the first time in modern history.

      Yes, prices are going up.  What's more frightening is that the amount of food in Costco is low, very low.  It used to be stacked to the ceiling.  Now it's just a few cases high.  Same with Publix Supermarket.  If there is a run on food (like there was on toilet paper recently), those shelves will be empty.

I was at Walmart & a supply of Clorox wipes came in. They didn't even put them out on the shelves they just put them up front ($2.78 or something) & people were taking them out of the shipping box. That was going to be all that they were going to get.

I think that soon I might have to become a vegetarian. Just the meat for hamburgers was close to $8.

Farm to table cures that. Grow your own is what happens in rural Maine. Need for groceries goes down summers, fall. Can for winter too. Raking blueberries now... just got the fill of strawberries, raspberries.

Only on Amazon.  Price gouging at its finest.

Whole Foods - not really. As a Prime member, I get many good deals. 

Safeway, I scored on some of the best lowest prices I have ever seen. My receipt showed I saved more than I spent!

Nope. We have numerous farmer market locations, pick your own farms, etc which I think helps keep store prices down.

Yes in Salt Lake City, Utah there are a few shortages of clorex wipes and other sundries as well as food items also.  And the price of food has risen along with smaller packaging.
