I'm not seeing a rise in prices at Walmart or HEB, where I shop, but I am still seeing a supply chain problem with items that are typically easy to get. Like, small bottles of Ranch Dressing, or specific breakfast cereals.
I used to grow my own (and onions as well) and they kept pretty long.
But store bought....have to buy them loose now so they are "fresh".
I think somethings changed about store bought potatoes. Used to be a 10lb bag cost $1.98 and lasted for months, now you buy the bag because it costs $3 but you know you will throw 2/3 of it away. You only do it because the loose potatoes are $1.50 EACH.
Btw, bagged potatoes make great range targets. They are cheap, about the right size to be a challenge and they explode dramatically when hit.

My Walmart has loose Russets that are priced OK..$.88/lb
Those fancy loose ones with the nice packaging are much more though
Like I posted earlier..it's probably my locale.
In Texas the bag lasted. I also grew my own and they lasted.
But here...nope. So I buy them loose weekly.
I put potatoes in the bin for vegetables in the fridge I have an extra fridge in my garage for odds and ends. In Florida it works for me and they stay fresh. No eyes.
From what I see in my weekly food shopping I'm going to go with shadowstats and act accordingly.
Housing alone is up 35% YOY. No one is going to get enough of a raise to make up that difference. Not even close.
