It depends on what was being purchased and when. Overall my wages increased so much the past two years that the minor inflation in the US (in comparison to most other developed nations) hasn't had any meaningful effect on the lives of myself and partner. Gas prices in my corner of my state never climbed higher than about $3.90/gallon, and rapidly fell back to normal once reserves were unleashed and sold.
The largest increase on anything I have seen thus far is the current price of lettuce and other leafy greens here. There was some kind of bacterial or viral outbreak in California that ruined a lot of crop, so prices shot up - particularly in states far away from California. However, once harvest occurs in Arizona, which should be any day now I heard, prices should quickly return back to normal.
Aside from that let's see..... most meats, especially poultry, fluctuates rather wildly from grocery visit-to-visit. Used cars are still pricier than they were prior to the pandemic, but not quite as much so. It's still really, really hard to find mild cheese dips for potato chips and when I can find them they're a good $1.50 more expensive than the hot stuff, which isn't a big deal as cheese dip is so easy to make at home, but it's just a weird thing I noticed. Oh, and they hardly ever have diet gingerale in stock anywhere around me.
Edit: I just got back from a trip to the grocer, I noticed that the small pre-made meals from their deli that I grab for quick lunches are all up from $3 - $5 to $7 - $8
