Your list is composed of mostly imported goods or at least imported raw materials..However my contention has been that we have imported deflation, you fail to mention what you pay for service costs ie; Insurance, plumber, mechanic, carpenter, housing, property taxes and i think if you look you'll see that domestic grain prices are up, oh and books are going up..As zonder pointed out the trend on CPI is up for the year, as for the effects of the falling dollar it may be to soon to see that in the numbers yet due to existing inventory.
