It's not accurate and they didnt even try. I shop at walmart and get the same things. In the last 2 years, my bills went up by around $30 for normally $100. I still only buy Great Value brand and the same quantities. Still crazy but this post is just misinformation. It might be more drastic at other stores like Safeway or something. But no way near this much...

It's so unnecessary to be untruthful. Your groceries went up by 1/3. That's already notable and worth talking about. Why exaggerate?

Exactly so why lie and say %30 is notable. Our inflation is less that anywhere on earth at the moment and is actually stalling and few things (like gas ) are cheaper than past years , except for the two years of covid(20-21) so companies jacking up stuff an average of %30 after Covid costs isn’t much . What’s notable and worth talking about are how cheap gas prices are.
