Caleb Silver with Investopedia tracked the cost on some big budget items.
Silver says for the month of February unleaded gas was up 4.4% from January, meats, poultry and fish up 4.1%, dairy items up 2.8% and cereal up 2.2%.
Silver says although a lot of items are costing more, we are finally seeing some costs going down around our homes.
Household furnishings are down about 5.4%, fruits and veggies are down 3.4%, and new and used vehicles fell 1.7% in a month. Silver says it's a nice change of pace because prices have been rising for new and used vehicles every month for the past 18 months.
