I wasn't expecting 25% Pete, how did you get that number ? Lets hope we're closer to 6% otherwise I might need to make drastic savings.

Prices are already shooting up right now, after the new year things will really rocket. Look at the current price of gas and petrol.

Why do you think we (SS and me) have been saying if you need anything get it now while, (a) you can get it and (b) you can afford it.

There is a difference between the real numbers and the official numbers due to the government discounting certain items from the counted. Over here they discount petrol and food. In winter they will discount home heating oil.

Also they do not discount the same items all the time so if somehing takes a sudden surge in price they will just ignore it.

Those items can surge sky high and the inflation rate will say a nice low figure.

Not counting food and fuel is like not really tracking inflation.
