Real Inflation, I think it is happening.

Hi, not sure that this is the proper place to post this. Please move as appropriate.
During lockdown and up to now we have being ordering groceries on line, generally split between Asda and Tesco.
We haven't ordered groceries for a couple of weeks and today we placed an order with Asda. The order was fairly normal but our feeling was that the underlying cost had gone up about 30%. The choice of product had gone down significantly and was strongly biased towards Asda's produce.
We placed an alternative order with Tesco and the apparent cost increase also seemed to be significant. Tesco did offer a wider range of product choice.
Has anyone seen an APPARENT increase in grocery costs in the last fortnight (real inflation). Sorry for not posting hard numbers, just hoping to get some real food inflation feedback.
Thanks in advance.
