Wouldnt it make sense if they used an average weighted cost of inflation taking into account how many loaves of purchased versus how many plasmas were purchased rather than a basket of goods and services.
There may only be 100,000 plasmas sold say in the month of September vs 10,000,000 loaves of bread in the same month.
For a 10% increase in the price of plasmas to have the same effect on a household as say an increase in the price of a loaf of bread, the price of bread would only need to increase by 0.1%.
A 1% increase in the price of bread would be a 100% increase in the price of a plasma.
I assume it is not calculated this way but it should be as this is the real cost of inflation for the household.
Cheers
