In relationship to how much has been printed inflation is low. Consumer goods like tv's are getting ever cheaper. Anecdotally Sams Club has just rolled back prices through out the store. Life goes on where people need to eat so the economy rumbles on.

On some items demand is quite strong as it is seen as a place to park extra cash in a more or less appreciating envirnoment. This spring Spoon prices at auction are once again sizzling. So to some extent we see a dictomy of in some areas tepid pricing and in others aggressive pricing.
