Personal Basket of Grocery Goods
The following is tracking the changes of prices in my typical grocery basket which I found comparable products at a regional and a national grocery store.
Local Grocery Store
$155.33
-$6.70 (-4.14%)
National Grocery Store
$150.21
+$2.76 (+1.87%)
Everything 'feels' more expensive when going to the grocery store. I built out a personalized basket of goods which I track daily to see how prices change over time. Consistently tracking the same items allows me to compare the fluctuations in prices over time directly, offering insights into whether I'm spending more or if groceries are indeed rising in price.
