Check out the "psychology on burgers". Prices dropped from $7.99 to $4.99.
Hmmm is that a drop of $3 or 37.54 percent?

It is way to early to talk about deflation:

1. A 4.99 hamburger , is it a permanent price cut or a temporary promotion or a loss leader ?

2. How can you call falling house prices deflation if you did not call rising prices inflation ?

3. Japanese inflation came in below, because they changed the basket, to make inflation look lower.
