I can't speak for rest of the nation, but 2 bags of groceries in CA can cost $100

Before covid, Little Caesars pizza was $5. Now is $9. Federal Reserve & Biden can talk about CPI now down to 3.4% from July 2022's 9% & Fed's favorite PCE also coming down. But I dont see food prices coming down. My utilities bill, garbage bill, water bill continue to go up even though CA is drowning in flood & reservoirs are quite full. So I am not surprised why Americans are so down on a strong economy.
