Nominal prices of consumer goods were basically the same from 1997 to 2020.

Even outside that period nominal earnings tend to rise faster so consumer goods have gotten cheaper in real terms.

If it’s true it’s outdated… BEA’s state level price index is only up to 2023. CPI doesn’t exist at the state level.
