Keeping tabs on inflation

Just a few minutes ago I got back from grocery shopping and getting gas (not to be mistaken with getting gassed😃).

Groceries for one person for seven days came to $81.31 (75.6 Euros). The only nonfood item was a single 2-liter Diet Pepsi.

Gasoline was $3.59 per gallon or something like .94 Euros per Liter.

How does that stack up with where you are?

About the same here. The telling factor is average wages in contrast to those prices.

@MethDozer Yeah, average hourly wages here run between $9 and $17 for retail sales positions, and salaried it's about $62k per year (about $30 per hour), but the poverty rate is about 25% making less than $28k per year. Unemployment is about 5.9%.
