Prices are still increasing

While shopping at my local warehouse in Southern California today, I decided to order a family meal from a local restaurant for us to pick up upon leaving the store; to my surprise, the family meal had gone up from $35 not too long ago to $43; that's almost a 23% increase in price. I have seen increases at other restaurants as well and even at local wholesale warehouses, which typically try to keep prices low.

When you read the economic reports out there, they mention that inflation is under control and play a positive tune; as a consumer, I see the total opposite....what are you seeing?

P.S. Let's see if this post makes it; I had the name of the restaurant and warehouse included in my original post and it kept getting flagged and automatically removed.
