Isn't this called deflation?

A rose by any other name....
Loblaw chief sees grocery prices declining
I worry about deflation.The price of food is important, and will probably be the first to fall into a deflationary spiral. Not that this is sign of things to come. Things will have to get a lot worse for anything like that to happen.

Private Equity is a TERRIBLE Investment... Who Keeps Giving Them Money? — How Money Works
