    Right. But people buy a lot more of One Thing than the Other Thing so when the One Thing is 30% more expensive and the Other Thing is down in price, the average of the two doesn’t tell the whole story

    My expenses are mostly food and housing and I know for millions of people, it’s ONLY food and housing.
