“Headline % yoy similarly soared to 6.81% yoy from 6.22%—the highest since 1982.”
How can that possibly be true when gas and oil and meat are 100% higher in price this year over last year?
That 6.8% year-over-year inflation number seems incredibly low, compared to my real-world experience.
I agree something is fishy about the numbers.
These people making up these statistics don’t shop.
Indeed. For my normal daily shopping things are easily 50%-100% higher. I saw the new weight of some oats I was buying. The shrinkflation is now down to 13 ounce from the 14oz from the 16oz. A 6 pack of good beer is $12. Way to go Brandon!!!
