Which items have increased in price?

The 8.5% inflation of food prices can be attributed to the difference of supply and demand. The supply does not match the demand and many companies have been price gouging– and making large profits. Retailers including Walmart have been accused of overcharging customers. But what items got more expensive?

Keep in mind that exact prices vary by location. Below is a list of items and the price difference from August 2020 to August 2022:
