My electric bill fluctuates so wildly based on how much I'm at home and using the ACs that I could never differentiate inflation-related increases from changes from my own use patterns. I haven't purchased any of those other things since the start of increased inflation. I mean, I purchase food often from all kinds of different places, but I don't track prices. I don't think food and drinks here have doubled in price, or even close to that, because that would be shocking. $40 burgers? $20 beers? And if food prices have only gone up by 10%-15% (which may be the case) I would likely never notice. I feel like it's mostly people who go to the same store every week and buy the same items that notice inflation.

  Our electric company will give a per kilowatt charge on the bill. Just compare that to last years. I see it pretty easily when I try to budget for the months. Food (fast food) has been the worst offender. To the point where it is just as expensive as it is to eat at a full service restaurant. For me its more death of a thousand cuts style.. there isn’t just one thing that I can go and avoid.

  Interesting take. The only people that notice inflation are the ones that actually look at prices :) It's great you don't have to think about prices at all but that is really out of touch with most of not only America but basically the whole world...

  >My electric bill fluctuates so wildly based on how much This is a beyond dishonest excuse when your utility a) is likely required by state law to publicize rate changes in some capacity b) breaks down your bill on the invoice so you know exactly how much you're paying per unit.
