I agree as much as anyone that inflation is a pain. But most of these sound like things you could avoid. I shop at Target (they price match Amazon and Walmart!) for basics and Whole Foods for groceries that Target doesn't have because I find they have the lowest prices of bona fide grocery stores in the city for people that actually cook (aka not Trader Joe's). Costco when I have enough time to go to Sunset Park. I try to avoid local stores as much as possible because I don't find any value add in a Gristedes, for example, though there are a few that I patronize, such as the Mr. ___ stores in Brooklyn for cheap, high quality produce, or a great little Mexican market called Panaderia Atlixco deli grocery in Jackson Heights with reasonable prices.

On top of that, some of the 15 min delivery apps still have VC-funded deals. Getir seems to have a $20 off $25 offer every time I open the app. Why not try looking for new places to go to? The city certainly has gotten more expensive but that doesn't mean there aren't other options abound.
