And even this substantially inflated bucket cost continues to rise, quite rapidly. In other words, this news does not mean that prices are going to go down - let alone return to the normal. A slowing inflation rate is better than the opposite, but that's really all this is. We are not at the finish line or anywhere remotely near to it, yet. It will be important to see how inflation continues, especially as wages adjust. In particular, a raise of ~18% over the past 3 years (in total), would be the break-even point. Below that and you'd be seeing a real decline in wages, which I think is almost certainly the vast majority of people.
