    I see where you’re saying. How about a single bag or a single cart of groceries instead?

    I vaguely remember a grocery trip with my parents way back in the day when moving into our home. We had two full carts for $100 bucks. Nowadays, $100 bucks can fill one or two bags without much effort.

    Interesting video (YT link to KRTV News 2m48s) showing a grocery receipt from 1997 for 27 items totaling under $40. Today it’s about $110 for the same items. According to the video, the cost exceeds the calculated inflation estimate of $81.
