With inflation at a 39-year high, the number of things with higher price tags far outweigh the items and services with minor price cuts.

The overall consumer price index jumped 6.8% from a year earlier, the fastest pace since 1982, the Labor Department said Friday. Prices are surging for many of the essentials of life including rent and medical care. Gas had one of the biggest year-over-year increases at 58%.

Last month, prices rose 6.4% annually for groceries, with jumps of 13.9% for beef, 16.8% for pork, 8.4% for chicken and 8% for fish.
