A quart of milk (Mayfield at Kroger in Atlanta suburb) that was about $1.39 a few years ago has been at $2.89 for a while now. That’s more than double.

For some reason, I believe the government excludes certain items, like milk/eggs from inflation data. You know, the stuff that really hurts poor people, the stuff that politicians don’t even know the price of.

So yes, based on the way they measure I’m sure there hasn’t been much. In reality it’s way higher.
