For me locally, the more reasonable source would be Walmart or, possibly, Save-A-Lot.  I don't go there often because they don't stock a lot of things and their produce is usually too close-dated.

That was the example being discussed.  Other items have doubled in price, too, and unlike promised, they've not gone down at all since Biden left office.  The only exception here locally is gasoline, which did go back well down before recently going back up higher than when Biden left office.
