I tracked the same cart for three months so you don't have to. Up again — but not evenly. The stuff that jumped: dairy and anything imported. The stuff that didn't: in-season local produce and store brands.

The move: shop the perimeter, swap two brand items for store brand, and use the one app that actually matches competitor prices. That's like forty bucks a month back in your pocket without 'budgeting harder.' Numbers in the description.
