Inflation Watch -- February 28, 2023

 Wow, wow, wow -- eggs!

Eggs:

  • had been running at $5.59 for the past several weeks (months);
  • today, at Target: $3.29 for a dozen white eggs
  • wow
  • on February 23, 2023, an article in The WSJ predicted this (LOL)

Eggs:

  • by the way, speaking of eggs, from 2015:

McCormick crushed red pepper, for pizza:

  • $6.15 for a huge bottle, 3x their normal size, 1.5 oz
  • store brand: 1.5 oz for $1.19 (or $3.58 vs $6.15)

Soft drinks, 2-liter:

  • my favorite drink at McDonald's: Diet Dr Pepper
  • at home, Diet Coke
  • makes no sense? Don't ask, I don't know.
  • Diet Coke: $2.99 at Market Street;
  • Diet Coke: $2.59 at Target
  • Diet Dr Pepper: $2.19 at Target
  • from now on, Diet Dr Pepper at home; 
  • $2.99 vs $2.19 per 2-liter bottle; that's almost a dollar/bottle savings

Bread:

  • brand name $3.99 or more
  • white, no-name bread: $1.49

Canola oil:

  • Crisco: $5.29 for one of those 48-oz bottles
  • store brand, same size: $3.89

Frozen turkey: Walmart

  • 98 cents / lb

Spirits (at Total Wine and More -- I didn't buy either scotch/vodka -- just noting; was there to buy sake)

  • scotch: the price I would pay if I bought scotch: $35 -- it's rare for me to buy scotch any more; too expensive
  • Texas vodka (Tower): normally $12.99 for typical size bottle (750 ml); $5 off; now $7.99 -- I don't drink vodka either with very rare exceptions.
