I got some hotdogs, buns, cold-cuts with condiments, and two steaks for $6 a piece, some juice... and it cost about $75. My cart was barely a 1/4 of the way filled. Inflation is well above 10%. I wish I took a photo. I think we should start posting shopping cart photos, with totals here. Groceries plus gas is a nightmare right now.

I'm fortunate enough to be right next to a longhorn supplier..and my local grocery has great deals, yet looking slim on the total amount they stock.
I'm in a rural area so have a several good butchers who buy from local farmers and a couple of good farm produce stores and orchards and one very good farm that sells meat direct. Not that close. I have to drive pretty far to get anywhere. I try to buy from them when I can but still check out prices at the groceries. Meat is getting harder to find and I've noticed quality of the produce in the groceries has gone way downhill. That makes no sense in the middle of in season for most produce right now. I usually have a garden too but too busy this year.
BTW, check now where you live folks for orchards nearby. Apples will keep pretty well all winter if you protect them from freezing. The orchard people can tell you which are good keepers. I wrap each apple in a piece of newspaper so if one goes bad it won't spoil a bunch. A cold garage or basement will do so long as you have them in bins or something to keep them cold but not frozen.
