Let the restaraunts and maybe one day the service businesses suffer, I believe a lot of this inflation is due to the fact many businesses have found they can pretty much charge whatever the hell they want. Sure costs are up but they have not doubled the pay of their workers nor have ingredients doubled but the prices sure have. I made the mistake of hiring a lawn service to replace about 20 feet of irrigation line and two sprinkler heads because I was dealing with a health issue and based on the bill I got they must have been paying must be their trench digging help $150/hour. I could have done the job in an hour and got a bill for $400 bucks. Shoulda got a quote but it never occurred to me for such a simple job.
