The scale of this is bad. It's clear to see that things like bacon and beef have doubled in price, while down at the bottom the rice, potatoes, bananas, and flour lines all look about the same - though on closer inspection you see bananas and flour are flat, while potatoes have also basically doubled. You should probably use either a % change metric or a log scale on the y-axis.
