I know that my total grocery bill (not just lettuce) has more than doubled in the past few years. Gas too.

"The purchasing power of the US Dollar has decreased 47%" sounds about right.

A company selling a product I frequently buy went out of business, the purchasing power of the USD has decreased by 100%.
In terms of that product, it has.

And if that product was as essential to life for as many people as food and gas are, that might be important.

No it doesn't
