Indeed.

Just buy DVD players in stead of food. Then you have deflation.

Wage inflation is nice for permies - and if you can increase your rate then your income inflation might also be nice.

The word "inflation" is generally misused and exploited by the press.

Inflation is great if you are young. But if you are retired it is a killer.

I'm buying a new car on 0% finance for the next 4 years, having only managed to knock 8% off the list price, I'm factoring in around another 2% saving due to the high inflation.

Therefore can we leave it where it is thanks
