How's your inflation? And I'm not talking footballs here.
1/2 gallon ice cream now 1 1/2 quarts.
One pound of Ritz crackers now 13.7 oz.
One pound Cracker barrel cheese, was 10 oz. now 8 oz.
One pound can of coffee, was 11 oz. now 10 oz.
5 pounds of sugar, now 4.
Can someone do the math?
Do they think we are not paying attention?
Have you noticed any indications?

The prices of food has steadily risen for years. I would pay $150 for groceries now it's more like $250. I really don't understand how inflation can be so "low" with food, housing, vehicles and until recently fuel are historically high.
