I don't know why I'd trust TikToks when I also shop at multiple grocery stores every week.

Maybe there are a few outliers, but food inflation is definitely nowhere near 75=100+% YoY. The official price inflation numbers are much closer to what I've personally observed irl than what you see in viral TikToks.

TikToks get attention for being outlandish/exceptional, not for being an accurate representation of the norm.
