You can't account for inflation because the price increase is inflation.
you can look at a basket of goods that doesn't have your specific product and compare directly

but inflation is the general price level increase, this can be used as a deflator to get the price of whatever product in past/future money amount to see how the price of the product changed in "real" terms (ie. relative to the general price level change)

this is not true
You cannot verify anything using a tool that cannot validate truth.
