Has anyone else noticed the prices going up over the past couple of weeks, again?

It seems that it's not just the dairy--I haven't bought real butter in at least two months--but the meat, too. Chicken breast is 'on-sale' for $13.95/kilo, when it used to be $9.99 on sale. I wanted to make a nice dinner for my mother-in-law before she left, but the lamb racks were $30.99 per kilo! I know I was paying much less than that before, since a rack used to set me back about $10, and now a similarly sized one is $14 or so. Even the chips and soda and stuff like that all seem to be more expensive lately.

What gives?
