The inflation report that came out today specifically omits fuel and grocery prices because those are “volatile” categories. My grocery bill is double what it was two years ago and has been for six months. I wouldn’t call that volatile.

Groceries are stupid, it cost me $20 to make a lasagna that last year cost $10.

Costs me $12 to make 2-3 sandwiches at home using deli meat and cheese, a loaf of French bread, and 2 small tomatoes. That’s while taking advantage of sale prices. Would be more like $8/sandwich if I hadn’t bought the meat and cheese on sale.
