I would have said rent but also I've been eating a bunch of takeout so I had just been attributing it to that. I'll believe it though.
I suspect it varies a lot by area. My rent has gone up by about $150 since I moved to my current place. Significant, but still under 20% in 4 years.
My food costs have increased by well over 50% in the same period, despite drastically restricting my diet and generally eating much worse due to diminished availability of produce.
