I’d be interested in seeing a price comparison of some specific items over the course of the last four years.
That’s called the CPI and its what the topic is about. I highly suggest you read the CPI releases. You might learn something. www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm
I mean, I’m reading the chart and it’s saying prices are up 21% since '21 but I am not personally seeing that. I’m curious as to why that may be. The 22% for ‘food away from home’ though, I can absolutely confirm in my experience.
CPI splits Urban vs Rural, and into economic zones like East, West, and… even by State.
