    Inflation roughly averages 8% over the last couple years. The price of milk has gone up 300%. These are not the same.

      To be fair, milk specifically should cost a lot more than it does because our dairy agricultural system is disgustingly abusive to cattle.

      I don’t have receipts to prove it but I don’t think the price of milk has changed all that much. I just got a gallon for like $2.70. Earliest receipt I can find is from Feb of last year and I actually paid a bit more.
