I disagree. I’m in grocery stores nearly every day because I’m a mile away and I look for the best value/prices.
There are multiple items I used as indicators for several years about how prices were faring. It’s only been the past year that they’ve skyrocketed. And, I don’t give a crap about what the government says about ‘their’ indicators’ I have to actually pay for mine, not the taxpayers.
We are so screwed.
