Marketplace's Nova Safo has that story.
Shelter is a really big part of the CPI because the cost of housing is a really big part of households' monthly budgets.
So places like Austin and Phoenix and Atlanta have built a lot of apartments.
And as more housing supply came online of those metros, the cost of housing has come down.
Continuing with inflation for a minute, there's the data, which we just heard about.
And then there's what it actually feels like to live with rising prices.
To get out that side of it, we called up someone who's setting prices day to day.
Here's Ashley Morgan.
She runs the gift and DIY store Unglued in Fargo, North Dakota.
I would say right now that business is kind of average for us.
We had a lower March than last year, but our January and February were better.
I think that is partly because we had a random, you know, a couple snowstorms that always affects it.
I don't necessarily think it's because of consumer spending being down for us.
We do do workshops and those were actually up quite a bit for us.
And so it's more of the retail side for us was down.
What we saw in this last month is one of our main jewelry makers did need to increase their current prices of things in our shop 10 to 25 percent.
And that is like the first time that's ever happened for us.
We also have been we typically purchase DIY kits like do it yourself kits as wholesale for people to make here or take home as a gift.
two of our suppliers of that, one of them doubled their prices in this last quarter, which is also new for us.
And then another one also increased their prices a fair amount.
