Observed spread

+25.1% to -15.1%

The 9% headline hid a wide spread across categories, from sharp rises to outright declines.

Felt inflation

15%+

For cleaning, coffee, rice and meat baskets

A household spending heavily in those aisles likely faced a real increase above the 9% basket median.

Why?

01

Staples are defended

Bread and milk are visible traffic drivers, so retailers tend to hold those prices tighter.

02

Inputs got pricier

Cleaning supplies and rice depend on oil, grain and soda ash that rose on commodity markets.

03

Other aisles clear down

Toys, writing supplies and hand tools often move through clearance and seasonal resets.

The data doesn't lie.
