Wayne, don't you know that inflation is overstated by government statistics, that ignore that consumers substitute similar goods in the case of price increases? For example, they switch to chicken when beef or pork goes up in price. In this case, they merely switch to refrigerator boxes <g>

Think average and whether all components of an average can be at or below the average.

Then think nationwide average.
