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.
