No one. CPI is a national average for the average person on an average basket of goods. It is not meant to reflect what one individual does.

In Canada, StatCan has a tool where you can enter your own personal weightings for various categories so you can get your personal CPI:

I wish people would stop conflating the model with reality: the map is not the territory.
