Be careful where you get your data.

Rice was cheaper at the beginning of June this year than it was at the beginning of June last year.

Why not buy gold?

Home grown tomatoes cost more than store bought unless you consider your labor free. I grow them because they taste better.

I can make my own beer and wine. Bake my own bread. Again the labor kills the deal. I learned so that if I could not buy I could make but I will buy while I can.
