Does that account for shrinkflation?

Personally I have noticed I now alter the foods I choose to buy because of the high prices. I am buying more staples and trying to cut costs because the price of seemingly everything besides dairy and chicken(when you can find wings that is) has gone up.

I'm personally observing a similar increase (a little less than 10%) in my monthly grocery bill. Virtually nothing I purchase has been affected by shrinkflation. The only notable exception is paper towels.

Due to dietary restrictions my basket has remained mostly unchanged for years. Every grocery trip is basically vegetables, meat, brown rice, milk, cheese, and cooking oils or spices if needed.
