Tbh food costs should come back down, (even though I doubt they will) I work in wholesale produce and food costs aren’t much higher than they were a few years ago. Eggs are still high but there are always market conditions that cause huge price increases that generally subside when conditions return to normal. Problem is restaurants and chains like chipotle etc raised prices and no matter how much food costs decrease back to normal they won’t change prices back, plus wage inflation plays a big role. Cost of eating out has gotten nuts even at fast food type places but grocery store prices shouldn’t be as inflated.
