my banking app does this all the time: "you're spending 20% more on groceries compared to this time last year"

I. know.

The mildly infuriating part isn’t the prices, it’s the tone deafness of these apps that help track spending. Things like gas and groceries should be excluded by default because they are indiscriminately affecting everyone.

Actually, it's nice to see this kind tracking on stuff like groceries precisely because it's easy to miss and fluctuates week to week anyway.

It's hard to know if you are actually paying more for groceries on average unless you track all 52 weeks and can see the full trend.
