"Groceries" likewise make extremely poor metrics for "consistent value". Also "grocery bill" sounds like you're trying to sneak in an argument about inflation, and not value (gold inflates too!).

Also, too, no it hasn't, not remotely. Don't hyperbolize, it cheapens the discourse. Food CPI is about 1-2% higher than general CPI right now. (Or maybe you moved from CDMX to San Jose or something, likewise not a statement about value).
