Of course it's bullshit. The sky always has to be falling on Faux News, that's how they keep the viewers scared, angry, and watching.

MSN puts it at about $50:

Even Snopes puts it at about $50 (last year's pricing): https://www.snopes.com/articles/464088/kevin-groceries-home-alone-cost-today/

So Fox, as usual, is full of fearmongering shit.

I'm not trying to downplay the idea that stuff is getting too damn expensive, it really is out of hand, just that Fox is garbage.
