Arrr! Egg loot be risin' like a ship in a storm, thanks to the cursed inflation tide in the colonies!
2025-01-15
Arrr matey, last month the gold for grub and energy be risin’ faster than a sea monster! Prices be up by 2.9% from last year, egg prices cluckin’ up over 36% thanks to that dastardly bird flu! Aye, the treasure be scarce and the plunderin’ harder!
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round as I regale ye with tales of the treacherous seas of inflation that have beset the good ol’ United States! Last month, the winds of change blew fiercely, sendin' energy and food prices a'climbin' like a scallywag up the riggin'. Aye, in December, the prices soared by 2.9% compared to the year prior, a wee bit higher than the 2.7% rise we saw in November, as reported by the fine folks at the Labor Department.Ye see, energy prices be the real captain of this price-risin' ship, accountin' for over 40% of the inflation rise. Aye, those landlubbers are feelin' the pinch! And don’t get me started on the price of eggs! Arrr, they be flyin’ sky-high like a parrot on a sugar high, surgin’ over 36% since the year of our Captain's grace, 2023, all thanks to a dastardly bout of bird flu that left us with scarce supplies.
So, as ye fill yer bellies with grub and grog, remember this: the seas of inflation be high, but the spirit of a pirate be higher! May yer treasure chests remain full and yer sails ever billowed!
