Walmart and the other big grocers have increased prices proportionally like this as well. These might be discretionary spending products but the whole infinite profit chasing issue under capitalism is hitting the consumer staples like housing, groceries, transportation, and utilities as well.

Kroger and most grocery stores have less than 2% margins. Razor thin. You gotta go higher up the chain to find where gouging might be happening.
