No it’s not.

$100 in groceries will now cost $110
$112 doctor bill will now cost $110.
If you add the 10% food inflation that Supervalue is warning about, that will really be $120 groceries bill for the $100 you paid in 2020.
And it's not only the breadbasket items that were exempt, there is also medication, rent, and insurance that you conveniently left out.
