I have sticker shock from the prices. A small piece of soup chuck to make a pot of soup was $10.59 a pound. This is supposed to be the cheap meat. And I even skipped a food group ... chocolate. Even I won't spend $5 for a small bag. Stock up now, because this is only going to get worse.

North Jersey. Prices haven't changed much on food. Some things went up a bit, but by and large I'm spending the same on groceries as I was a couple of years ago for the same or similar amounts.
Availability of chicken breasts is fucking nonexistent though for a couple of weeks. But we have a a major US port that isn't as insane as Cali's portt. And we have a lot of truck traffic, major transport rails (in jersey city area if you drive through south Kearny, you can be stuck for 20+ minutes waiting for all the carts of the train to pass.
That's the only way I can connect what people here say about prices and availability with what I see IRL. Stuff is still ridiculously cheap compared to what I see.
10.59 a pound is what I paid for a nice strip steak the other week lol.
