In 2022 I scraped the current prices for things I bought on amazon the year before, and got a 7% increase.

Unfortunately amazon stopped providing order reports recently...

``` $ inflation -y 2021 -f items.csv 86 successful items, 30 failed items 2256.76 total 2021 2427.62 total now +170.86 (+7%) difference ```

That's a pretty neat idea. Do the price aggregation sites (eg. camelcamecamel) do anything like that?
Providing financial reports could be a great sideline for them. Are you listening, Camel?!
