It’d be more meaningful to compare prices like-for-like. For example, to feed a family of four for one week (two adults and two teenagers) I could go to Whole Foods and spend $300 no problem. Or I could go to Aldi and spend $130 on good quality food. There’s no doubt the food prices in the US have been absolutely slammed by inflation in the last 18 months or so. I watch “street food” shows in countries like Thailand or Vietnam and it looks like they can get a delicious (not necessarily healthy) meal for <$5.
#1 lying badly... I live in Brazil and 35 dollars today is around 180,00 BLR. With this money you can buy more than just fruits... even in a expensive market. But one thing is real: inflation! Every country is facing this

As Odell wrote, it would be nice to compare every single item world wide.
