Tell this calculator roughly what you buy at the grocery store and it will tell you how much more you're spending thanks to inflation.

Apparently I'm spending 29% more than I did in January 2017.

Nothing essential should be making a profit for anyone. The bare bones nutritional requirements should be free. Minimal housing should be free. Healthcare should be free. Access to clean water should be free. Everything deemed essential should be provided by the government at the lowest possible cost to the citizens. If you want cut lead crystals on everything then pay for that but the basics should be free or affordable. NOBODY SHOULD BE MAKING PROFITS OFF OF ESSENTIALS!!!!!
