True, but price fluctuations are still "individual" things, when we consider the cost. The CPI is at best a very vague/inaccurate number for personal financial planning. Looking at one's bills are far more useful.

Nobody was claiming CPI was for looking at personal financial planning. It is about the larger economy that in turn effects individuals.
