The price of specific items has doubled

Rent, which has outpaced inflation had a national average of $1149 in 2019 and was $1650 in 2025 in order for average rent to have doubled you have to go all the way back to 2007ish

Instead of tracking a burrito, track how much 1lb of chicken cost or bananas or broccoli
