They might be referring to inflation in their specific area or in their specific budget. I don’t think you can apply average national or global inflation rates to an individual in a specific location.

That's why I'm asking how it was 10%

Inflation was 7%. Most of my diet is meat which is up ~20%. Also if you want to do some home improvement like put in a pool, that's up 20 - 25%.

Interesting. I wouldn't have thought that would comprise enough of one's budget to have such a big effect. Thanks
