I watch youtube videos from Estonians, Ukarainians, and few Russian
youtubers.  The Russian youtubers do videos on going to the mall or large
grocery stores and show how trade sanctions are hurting their economy.
Several of thir more popular food staples, such as potatoes, h ave raised in
price, but have lowered in quality.  Smaller type potatos souced from farms
that a putting in lower bids and cutting corners such as not washing or
spraying off the mud on potatoes. The prices are decided on the most basic
staples, but premium or luxxury meats and vegetables can charge more for
their product.  I can imagine potatoes, rice, and beans being cheap.  Eggs
and milk have tighter margins.  Discount meats would be pork shoulders and
other areas smaller chunks of meatr remain after processing.
