[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8886039, member: 683408"] The fact that they use multiples of the same product accounts for the "substitution factor". They aren't counting who bought WHAT, they are counting the PRICES. No matter how you calculate your mac n chees example, it shows a price increase. 1.0-1.5 = increase .50-.80 = increase 1.5-2.3 = increase And they do the tabulations several times a month to smooth out any major changes that occur in the short term (like gas spiking for a holiday weekend, then settling back in, or a product being sold at closeout pricing to unload it). Regardless of those facts, the whole CPI think is a big sham and the only thing that matters is your personal experience. How long did it take you to shovel this morning? [/QUOTE]
