Oh, is that so? Cause the numbers say otherwise.
Bottom Line
Your wallet has seen material pressure since January 2026:

Roughly $1,000+ extra annually for an average household spending $33,000/year on typical goods/services
The acceleration from 2.4% → 3.0-3.4% represents about 10-15 cents on every dollar going further than it did at the start of the year
Relief may be coming if November's 2.7% reading holds
