Let’s forget corn and look at other groceries. Where I live, half a gallon milk is $5, a loaf of bread is $6.5, potatoes are $3 a pound, dozen eggs are $6 and so on. Grocery prices only rose about 200% in the past 4-5 years. I used to get loads of food for $100, now everytime I do a grocery run I pay at least $70-80.
That is based fully on where you live. I just got home from the grocery store.
1 Gal Whole Milk: $2.69
1 Dozen Large Free Roaming Chicken Eggs: $2.89
2.5 lbs 80/20 Ground Beef: $7.86
5lb bag Russet Potatoes: $2.56
5lb bag Satsumas: $7.85
1 Loaf Whole Grain Bread: $3.12
But at the same time, I did see that a 12 pack of Pepsi was $9, 1/2 gal Tropicana Orange Juice $5.50. I didn’t get these things, but they were more then they used to be by a significant margin.
This is selective. A dozen eggs at Aldi near me is $3.50. There is no loaf of bread in the store which is $6.50. According to my grocery log I have kept over the past ten years, process are up about 20% since 2020.

Are you buying, like, Fairlife milk, Ezekiel bread, and the most organic, freest rangiest eggs on the shelf?
Believe it or not these are the most basic ass things you can buy in a grocery store in NoVA.
