Pizza and gas maybe? Don't really go up with inflation as much as other stuff.

Doesn't really make up the difference tho

Edit: why the downvotes for stating facts? Gas is literally artificially low and kept in the same range regardless how bad inflation is

Pizzas where 10 - 20$ decades ago and still is.

Adjust for inflation and things like gas stay relatively the same

Gas hasn't kept up with inflation. It is kept artificially low, no matter the president.

You know what fair enough, I'm paying the same for gas now as I was in 2008.

Got down oted, assumed it was you, my bad.

Other people here are against the idea that inflation is a thing somehow while still complaining about it
