Food prices are at least double. People are buying cheaper alternatives, and that might reduce the cost of their bill to only a 37% increase but that is not an apples to apples comparison.

I would not trust the new York post to be honest about something as politically charged as inflation, especially in an election year.

Food prices are at least double.

It's not double around here. 37% feels about right. Like if it was $5.99 before, now it's $8.20.
