    Inflation is calculated off of the cost of some particular basket of goods, and tends not to be even across those goods.

    Yeah, if you eat a lot of corporate fast food, prices have skyrocketed recently. At a rate that far outpaces the local pizzeria and Chinese restaurant down the street, or the cost of chicken and eggs from the grocery store.
