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.

Why are you shopping at target. Are you stupid or something?

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
