Rent and food prices have increased dramatically in the last 10 years, at least in urban / suburban areas. For consumer goods, shrinkflation has led to a huge decrease in product longevity, meaning I need to replace items more frequently. If the price for e.g. a toaster or blender has stayed the same but I need to replace it twice as often, then I'm really paying twice as much.
