<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2688390, member: 71723&quot;]Because, yeah, after all this is the Twenty-Teens and actual data has no place any more. Anecdotal atypical examples are MUCH better. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Now, instead of using Snickers bars, something I NEVER buy, why don&#039;t I &quot;randomly&quot; choose a thing I buy the bejabbers out of - computing power? I wonder what the negative inflation rate is based on MY choice.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s ALL about what you buy, and the CPI doesn&#039;t take into account either a) substitute goods or b) seeking discounting, so the whole thing is overstated. But then again, if you&#039;re already buying chicken thighs at WalMart instead of T-bone at your own butcher, well, you&#039;ve pretty much run out that string, huh?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
