Alternative inflation metrics I am looking for the most famous alternative inflation metrics  used by some acknowledged economists other then CPI and PCE.  In my opinion energy, food, education, healthcare, housing and transport is much more important then say a cellphone or a new tv, if anyone knows of any index weighting in this manner and have a similar idea around why to weight like this, please let me know.
The PPI (Producer Price Index) measures the domestic output of raw goods and services.

The GDP deflator measures the changes in all goods and services produced in an economy. 

For your purpose the US Bureau does release indexes that drill down further into the PPI in the form of industry level classifications and commodity classifications.
