15. There are breakdowns into broad and sometimes narrow categories

I think there are "market basket surveys" that show what has gone up and down over a period.

The CPI has breakdown at

with links to tables showing further subcategories

Similarly for today's "bunch of BS" PCE report

which this month morphs into

Well, darn, not much of a breakdown, just the PCE, Core PCE (ie without food and energy), food, energy
and that's it. I don't know where they have finer details. And the darn thing doesn't even show year-over-year, it just shows index values month by month from January 2024 onward. But anyway,
Food: +0.28% (August over January, not annualized)
Energy: -0.40% (ditto)
