Therefore, no inflation happens.

There are plenty of arguments suggesting that the way inflation is calculated has been changed in order to keep the 'publicly announced' inflation rate palatable to the gen pop.

The other way we have seen inflation is this; retail products, especially food related have maintained their prices however their net weight in grams has fallen.

Packets of crisps that go for $4.50 for 180g now only give 165g.

Deodorant gives less mls.

In the UK you've also seen horse meat substituted for beef in lasagne.

It goes on and on.

You can also use a website like Shadowstats, which calculates inflation under the old methods along with the new.
