I just got diapers according to the store it was a great discount, they where from the stores own brand (not even a "premium" brand)

Anyway I paid 26 cents per diaper (for my daughter)

When my son was born 6 years ago I paid 12 cents per diaper.

Every government chart about inflation is just not accurate for your groceries. The official inflation numbers tell me it's about 25% inflation, but in reality for a lot of things it doubled.

The CPI has been changed a number of times over the past 5 decades, each change lowering the rate. By the old rate just in 2008 social security checks would be on average some 1,200 more a month.
