Housing in my area of the US is booming. Understandably, that means in others, it's doing the opposite, so it probably washes out.
As for wood, I agree not everyone is out buying lumber. But that affects lots of things. Have you priced out a shed, fixing a deck, or new run of fence? It also apparently affects furniture and such to some degree. New home builders near me were putting huge 'lumber' addendums on their previous pricing.
Food is a little trickier. Grocery just 'feels' more expensive, but admittedly, I don't have any data to back that up. I can certainly cede that point.
