Several breakfast staples saw sharp price increases due to a perfect storm of bad weather and disease outbreaks—and continued effects from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Egg prices increased 8.5% in January from a month earlier and are up 70.1% over the past year, the highest annual rate since 1973. The deadliest avian-influenza outbreak on record has devastated poultry flocks across the U.S., leading the price of eggs to rise more than any other grocery item in 2022, according to Information Resources Inc. U.S. egg inventories were 29% lower in the final week of December 2022 than at the beginning of 2022, according to the USDA.
Frozen, noncarbonated juices and drinks—a category that includes frozen orange juice—rose by 1.5% in January from a month earlier, and the 12.4% annual increase is the highest in over a decade. Florida orange growers are harvesting their smallest crop in nearly 90 years, the result of a freeze, two hurricanes and a citrus disease that is laying waste to its groves.
Breakfast cereal increased more modestly in January from a month earlier—just 0.4%—but prices in the category were up 15% over a year, in part because of elevated global grain prices resulting from disruptions related to the war in Ukraine.
Breakfast lovers might be better off just having a cup of coffee—but go with roasted, not instant. Prices for roasted coffee declined by 0.1% last month, but instant coffee rose by a 3.6% monthly increase for instant coffee.

Did someone mention "frozen orange juice?" Throw in some pork belly futures, and I'm in!
Seriously, if you are considering renouncing one mealtime per day, why do away with"Breakfast?"
What about "Second Breakfast," "Elevenses," "Luncheon," "Afternoon Tea," "Dinner," or "Supper?"
Not to mention in-between snacktimes!

Mom gave me some eggs today from Costco and ai buy coffee in bulk from Amazon for my Kurig

The late Tuli Kupferberg had a book 1,001 To Live Without Working: A Standard of Laziness (Grove Press, 1967).
He was a humorist and Beat Generation poet and writer. Also a member of the Fugs rock group.
One piece of advice was “Eat every other day. Then eat every other other day.”

This is a picture of a European average person’s breakfast. They are told “Finish your meal—there are people starving in America who don’t have enough to eat under Biden’s inflation and supply chain distruptions.”
You can’t go wrong if you stick to the four Basic Junk Food Groups—

The bachelor food groups are —
Fast, Frozen, Junk and Spoiled.

1,001 Ways To Live Without Working
Maybe “People Should Stop Being Fat and Obese by Eating Less and Exercising” would be a better headline.
The Lone Ranger disagrees.
I guess they missed the fact that chicken farmers who stopped using Purina (WEF friendly Nestlé ) chicken feed have chickens laying eggs like crazy.
Gabriel T. Rubin: “... and continued effects from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.”
What an @$$hole.

People are eating a lot of eggs for their protein because they are still cheaper than beef and other meat they can’t afford since that idiot Joe was installed.
I have a Saturday morning routine. Sleep in, then go to my favorite neighborhood diner for breakfast. Poached eggs, ham, and whole wheat toast, with a side of grits. To drink I have my hot coffee, and a V-8 with a few shakes of Tabasco sauce.
when I was growing up, “breakfast was the most important meal of the day”
Yet another example of how detached wealth sovereigns are from the rest of humanity and why they should not be allowed to be in government nor politics.
Free-range local eggs are $3.50 a dozen here. Our normal supplier bought that Rural King feed that prevented her hens from laying.
“To Save Money, Maybe You Should Skip Breakfast”
Or have a regime change.
To save money, don’t buy the fake paper WSJ.
Oat meal with unsalted black beans, then S&P to taste add shake cheese. That’s good eatin’ right there.
I wonder if they mention chicken farms burning down?
