Feels higher than that honestly. Just based on your usual shopping costs compared to say, last year.

These indexed inflation numbers are such bullshit. Sure they might be correct for the equation used, but they completely whitewash how essential items bought frequently like milk, bread, eggs, etc. are up 40-50% in many countries. Or worse.

Yep, my weekly food shop is easily 50% higher. Going to need a small loan to pay for a turkey this year.

They are bullshit. They do things like substitute soy or lentils for meat when meat gets expensive. Complete fabricated horseshit meant to gaslight the population.

I second this, feels more like 33+% , atleast on every day stuff like vegetables, bread, milk, eggs, etc.
