Sure but isn't this meant to be a measure of the increase in cost of living, not how much someone spends once they've run out of money? Seems to be artificially suppressing the measurement.
As an exaggerated example, if prices went up 5x and the result is people starve and make do with minimal food, then it's disingenuous to only show a small increase.
