Everyone's got a hot take on why CPI is wrong, but the official rate of inflation for food is 3.5%. Personally, I spend a lot more on groceries than pre-covid, but thats because I now eat out once or twice a month instead of several times a week.
How does the official 3.5% figure compare to your personal experience of the actual difference in price for a given item from last year?
Milk and oJ still relatively normal, considering gas is up nearly 30% in my hood
