Yes but once you hedonically adjust the prices there has been no change in prices ... the starbucks and krispy kreme effects have forced DD to increase the quality of its products so you are in reality paying the same as you did two years ago. -just kidding-

partically, I think OT ;^D "Supposedly, inflation is only 2% per year, then how about this: in about 2 years the price of a coffee and 2 doughnut combo in Dunkin Donuts went up close to 50% !" On the other hand I recently bot an airline ticket from cal. to ny and paid 179 round trip. 50% of what i would have paid 20 years ago so we really have deflation. or I paid 1.67 a lb for bonless chicken thighs last week. last year I had to pay 2.99 or paid 500 for a dell that would have gone for 3000 10 years ago (if I could have found one at that speed) paid 1.99 for some 2 buck chuck (wine) Still 1.99 so guess what NO inflation. Could you come up with three more examples of rising prices?? Sure! I could come up with more drops. MAYBE someone ought to come up with an Index? Huh. Maybe we should get the government to do that...........
