Don’t know about you but my anecdotal experience suggests there’s far more inflation in prices than the .8% in the latest report.

You have anecdotal experience of buying a representative basket of things at the beginning of the third quarter and then buying a comparable basket of things again at the end of the third quarter, and noticing a significant price difference?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say: No, you don't.

I save every receipt from everything. If an item I purchased is to be used in my biz, I yellow hilite it or circle the item and the price.
I’ve noted the container sizes have shrunk yet the price remains similar.
I’m putting inflation, based on a market basket of stuff I buy every week at about 15% to 17%in the last 12 months. Obviously, this does not include fuel or housing so anyone can take exception to it.

You are correct. The inflation numbers from the government don’t include a lot of things, like food, energy, taxes etc. Things that are absolutely going up more than .8%

I concur.
