I feel like those calculators are lying or intentionally ignoring things, because just from 2020 to 2024 alone, products have gone up by 2.5x their original cost alone. The only things that somehow havent are the subsidized products like milk and gas (still around $4 per gallon somehow, and it used to be $2.50 for milk before 2020)
