As I mentioned in the sister comment I do indeed track unit prices for things like meat, dairy, and produce.

My total monthly expenses have increased by roughly 50-100% since 2006, but that's also because I now earn more, buy more expensive things like steak and good cheese, and am more physically active so eat larger quantities.

I actually think that I overstated food price increase marginally. Many things I buy are the same price they were 15 years ago.

I admire the thoroughness of your data collection. I don't doubt your numbers at all.

If anything the only huge inflation I ever see is not in consumer goods, but in appreciating assets.
