Wait, at the moment you are being severely downvoted for posting a link to the best statistical source we have for the US on this topic? WTF is wrong with people?

The first column. Cookies, beef, chicken, milk, pasta… literally anything you’d buy at a grocery store.
Why don’t you try clicking on historical data and selecting 2020?
