I can't give you an exact figure, but honestly it's been pretty obvious here. I live alone, and when I moved here I was expecting to be spending maybe $65 or so a week on groceries, but I'm probably spending a good $80 now. I'd say since last year the prices have gone up at least 1.5 times.

I've noticed the same thing here. The price of groceries here has gone up quite a bit. Same thing here. We used to pay maybe $40-$50 a week for groceries for just us two people. Now it's jumped to $70 to $80 for a week supply of essentials. The prices of all the foods, especially stuff like cerial and coffee and milk are skyrocketing here. Not to mention the nationwide yogurt rip off where they started putting all the yogurt in tiny little cans and still charge the same price they used to be when they were in the larger cans. They're doing the same thing with breakfast cerial. Look how many small boxes there are now compared to just a few years ago.. and they're charging more for those small boxes than they used to charge for the larger boxes back then.
That's mostly what we're seeing here. The ammounts are shrinking but not the price so you have to buy more of the product to equal what you used to buy and all the food manufacturers are doing this now.
