    That <3% still doesn’t make sense, because my food and housing have gone up 50% in the last few years, and the rest sure haven’t gone down

      Sure, but that’s a sample size of 1. And, were there other years where the inflation rate was 3% or something, but you personally had a rate lower than that? You might not have noticed because it’s hard to notice when things aren’t changing.
