Inflation rises to 6.8% year over year
Based on my anecdotal experience this seems to very much understate inflation. 
How is housing up only 3.8%? This site says over 17% rent increase nationally over the last year: <a href="https://www.apartmentlist.com/research/national-rent-data" rel="nofollow">https://www.apartmentlist.com/research/national-rent-data</a> which seems to be more accurate.  Anyone with a web browser knows that home prices have experienced a monumental increase.<p>Also a trip to the grocery store appears to cost me 50% more now for essentially the same goods. Every trip to the store pre-covid cost me around $100, now its $150. I do buy primarily proteins so that is the source of the increase but to ignore that seems ill advised.<p>Not generally a conspiracy theorist but unless the people that built this report are using some accepted formula that is very different than the real world this report seems to be intentionally underselling inflation.
