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.

Probably twice as bad

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

It's funny you say this, because my wife and I just made a lasagna and were shocked it cost nearly $30.

[–] agarorn@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Wtf. I mean I realized how much you us people pay for food when I was there last year, but 20$ for lasagna. What's going on? I think I can easily do it under 10€,even buying "better" meat.

They didn't omit those prices. CPI and Core are two separate measurements. Core excludes food and energy.

In fact, excluding food and energy actually made the numbers worse. CPI is at 3.2% YoY. Core is at 4.7%.

Idk man ground beef is still like $3 a pound for me, milk $2.70 a gallon, pasta $1 a pound. I'm not saying some things haven't gotten more expensive because they have, but my grocery bill from 2 years ago is like 20-30% more expensive now.

[–] _TK@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where I am at,ground beef is more in the $5-6/lb range, as a comparison. We have some dairy farms local so milk is a bit cheaper, but basically everything else is significantly more expensive, especially meat.

[–] Cleverdawny@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can get $4 a lb ground beef in a convenience store

[–] Blaze241@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah we can buy ground beef for around 7€ the kilo (2,2lb)
