  They made it up. City average all items is up 3.7% in the last twelve months. You can find the real numbers at bls.org Edit: yes, of course, bls.gov

    Averages aren’t really useful here. For a lot of people food and housing represent a significant proportion of their take home. In my region both of these are up significantly higher than 3.7 in the last twelve months. Worse is certain brands at the grocery store seem to be leading the charge, which means not only are prices going up, but for many people the utility per doller is also going down.
