For items which you are purchasing on a regular (Annually) basis, should be compared with the (local inflation + international inflation) + Dollar parity (If are purchasing from international market). This is the way to measure the cost avoidance. For example; your purchase price for X-item is USD 10 in 2014. In 2015 the price is USD 10.2 and in 2016 the revised price is USD 10.3. Apply inflation rate of 2014 price and calculate the projected cost of 2016 (after applying inflation rates) and then compare it with the actual paid cost of 2016. The difference is the cost cost avoidance.
