    What costs double? I track my expenses very closely and have for about a decade and my essentials are up 10% at most, 7% on average. That’s food, transportation, home expenses and cloth. My recreation expenses were actually down or flat.

      I feel like sit down restaurants and fast food have gone way up. Maybe not double but it feels like it. Rent is also way up. Again not double but it seems that way. Maybe that’s just my area in South Florida though.

      But yeah if you own your own home and cook all of your meals at home, really this inflation hasn’t hit you as hard.
