Eggs and coffee jumped out at me again this week, while a few staples were cheaper. I know one receipt isn't data, but it explains why the official numbers and people's mood can feel disconnected. What has actually gotten cheaper near you?

Coffee hasn't. Store-brand butter has, weirdly. Rent is the number that makes every other improvement feel theoretical.
Rent is the hard one. A 3% cheaper grocery run doesn't register if renewal goes up $150.
