Prices are way up for a lot of goods sold. Much higher than the reported inflation numbers. The CPI is not nearly as useful of a metric as it was before they redid the formula however many years back, IMO. I know it's only up 8% or so per the dept of labor, but the price increases I've seen in my day to day life dwarf those figures. I think most people would say the same.
