Take a sheet of paper make five columns and list in column one the name everything you buy this week, including brand names of products and amounts/sizes. At the top of the second column put in today's date. In the second column aside of the name of each product you bought put in the price you paid. At the top of column 3 put in a date three months from the date at the top off the second column. At the top of column 4 put in a date six months from the date at the top of the second column. In the fourth column put in a date nine months from the date at the top of the second column. And finally in the fifth column put at the top a date 12 months at the date at the top of the first column.
In each column put in the price on the date at the top of the column of the products listed in the first column. Total each column. You now have the information needed to gauge inflation in your neighborhood.
I need a list to remind me where I put the list.

Google the burger index, lots of people doing this and blogging about what the majority of us see as inflation.
