Thanks To Years Of Inflation, The Price Of Breakfast In America Is Now Obscene
They have officially ruined breakfast. Once upon a time, breakfast was the least expensive meal of the day, but now everything has changed. Eggs, butter and coffee have all become extremely expensive, and there is no relief in sight in 2025. When I went to the grocery store on Friday, I spent about 45 dollars for just nine tubs of butter. I could hardly believe my eyes, but after doing some digging I discovered that five dollars for a pound of butter is very close to the national average at this stage.
Of course in some areas it is even more expensive. During an exchange on MSNBC’s Morning Joe program, Joe Scarborough was astounded to learn that the price of butter has reached 7 dollars in some stores in his area…
“It’s $7… I’m just saying it’s 7,” Brzezinski interrupted.
“Butter is $7… What, is it framed in gold?” Scarborough replied incredulously, with a look of shock on his face.
“It’s seven bucks…. it depends where you go,” Brzezinski stated somberly.
Europe is facing a similar crisis.
In fact, the price of butter in Europe jumped by an average of 19 percent during the 12 month period ending in October…
Across the 27-member states of the European Union, the price of butter rose 19% on average from October 2023 to October 2024.
That included a rise of 49% in Slovakia, and 40% in Germany and the Czech Republic, according to EU figures with reports indicating the cost has continued to rise.
