My bad. The numbers are from this site w/ a table going back further + more info on package sizes etc.
We all know that today's prices are inflated when compared to those of say, a decade ago. What we're talking about here is what are prices doing now and how much of a trend is it. That means we compare a pile'o'prices w/ those of recent months going back to when they weren't dropping.
There are all kinds of price indexes out there and what works for one guy won't work for the next, so you or me not liking something doesn't matter. What matters is that if we're working together on public policy then we need to make sense and communicate.
understood, my point is that day-day living isn’t getting easier for the majority so the majority of the deflation is on the nice to haves and not the sustenance items. Remember ~40% of the population is outside the labor force at this point.
