Refrigerated dairy prices have been on the rise lately, and if you use Chobani as a barometer - many products are experiencing both shrinkflation (pack sizes shrank) and inflation. Their flip line is now $1.89/ea at local and national retailers while the pack size shrank.

I spend a little more time in Produce and a little less in Market. Center store and Dairy remain pretty steady. Adding more prepared foods (Meal Simple) actually.
