I see few store clerks now at the checkout at Walmart, Ralphs (Kroger). Many more self checkout lanes are appearing.
Butter is $4.99 a pound, eggs are $4.99 a dozen.
Inflation is not going down.
Correct inflation is never going down if it is more than 0.1%.
What “cooling” inflation means the rate of inflation is less. Instead of 8.5% it is 5%. So yes, eggs could increase 5% next year instead of 8.5% increase.
