Some of it will rot on the shelf at those prices.

If all the prices go up everywhere that is simply the new normal. Ice cream used to be a nickel, yet you gladly pay $2. How did that happen?

When ice cream really was a nickel it was dense and heavy. The "ice cream" you buy today is puffed up with air.

The Food at Home index, which measures price changes at the grocery store, rose 13.5%, is the highest in 43 years. That means I have to try my best to save on groceries to cut costs. I used a credit card, and buy in bulk by searching for coupons on sites like CouponBirds and using a cash-back app like ibotta. https://www.couponbirds.com/ While it's helpful but not powerful enough. Will the price back to the pre-pandemic level one day?
