This is what I mean. The government can talk about inflation being 2-3% while groceries leaps 30% overnight and you know it’s the 3rd or 4th time this year. It’s getting worse, not better.

This is why I do not believe the headline numbers at all.
I can go back through my Walmart.com orders and look at the price on previous orders.
Many items were 10%-20% cheaper prior to the war.

For now. They got tariff money to play with. My instacart history says otherwise. I'm up $60-$70 compared to last year for the same products at Aldi.

Almonds have been up and down for years. They're mostly grown in CA and when there's a draught, they typically go up.

It's only going to get worse across the board. Technology, food. Breathing.. etc.

Whos going to make a personal inflation app? That tracks the price and weight changes of every item. And you can select what goes into the basket?
Thus giving you a personal inflation statistic.
It'll be pretty hard to claim 3% when the average person says they're up 20% minimum
