It's the oddest thing, we grow our own beef and veg. Magically those areas of inflation are not raping my family. It's time we all start getting independent in every way possible.
My fake economic degree says that: If a burger costs $.50 more in the midwest it would be a 10% increase, but $1 in Cali would only be a 7%, if prices are already higher then quantized increases would affect the percentage less.
Yes, let's posit an intellectually dishonest argument and make sure we have a 666 in our numerical example. Let's not forget the "Come To Idaho" sentiment either

yep, a 5$ Idaho burger increasing by 50¢ is a 10% increase, but a 15$ burger in CA going up by 1$ is a 6.66% increase.
btw, if you're ever in Idaho, you got to try the Big Juds burger, My favorite is the 2 pound, McDonald's can keep their quarter pounders
