I just had a look at my personal expenditures, which I have registered in details since late 2006 in a consistent (automated) way.

Country. Denmark
Currency: DKK, pegged to Euro
Time period: 1.5 years

I pay less in tax, overall considering all interactions
Electricity costs were lowered
Real Estate financing got lower
Gas and natural gas expenses rose more than 10%
TV licenses rose more than 10%
We spend the same amount of money on food, although I did lose a lot of weight which may have contributed to this
Most fixed costs didn't change more than 3% in size

At the same time, electronics, toys and clothes got cheaper in the shops, but restaurant prices went up.

I guess this is representative, and basically just shows, that even though some prices may have gone up, for the individual, in this country who has already established himself, life hasn't become more expensive. My perceived inflation is almost zero.
