I mean, I’m reading the chart and it’s saying prices are up 21% since '21 but I am not personally seeing that. I’m curious as to why that may be. The 22% for ‘food away from home’ though, I can absolutely confirm in my experience.
CPI splits Urban vs Rural, and into economic zones like East, West, and… even by State.
I’m not seeing specific items in that link. I’m thinking, for example, a 3 lb chicken, a pound of 80/20 ground beef, a pound of honey crisp apples, a head of romaine lettuce, etc.
The second link is interesting. I’m in the Philadelphia area which is one of the greater percentage increases. I’d like to know what exactly is being indexed.
That’s called the CPI and its what the topic is about. I highly suggest you read the CPI releases. You might learn something. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm
