Fuel more than doubled for awhile, and it's only as the result of improved extraction technology that the prices have come back down again, though still higher than 2008. Food has almost doubled, and is still almost double what it was back in 2008.
Another trick I have noticed is that they reduce quantity of food items, while charging the same price. They are trying to sneak the inflation past the consumer.
But you're just going on your feelings rather than actual data, aren't you?
There *IS* no real data, or do you argue otherwise? The Agencies responsible for collecting and disbursing the data are now part of the Chicago Mafia/1984/Animal Farm/Farenheit 451 information obfuscation scheme.
MINITRUE simply tells us what we need to be told.
I know what particular common items cost back in 2008, and i'm aware of what they cost now, and they are d@mned near double. Not quite, but almost.
There's a difference between the price of something rising because of scarcity and increased demand and inflation. One could just as easily argue that we have deflation because some things are cheaper now than they were. I remember REAL inflation, back in the 1970s, and this is nothing like that.

Businesses attempting to maximize their profits by manipulating package size are not the same as inflation.
