You turn it on, you're filling it up. So the water going into the pool, that's inflation, right? So when the pool is filling quickly, the rate of inflation is high. But when you close the spigot a little bit, the water then slows to a trickle. And now the pool is filling up less quickly. That's the rate of inflation slowing down.

Okay, so that's pretty much the situation that we are in now, right? The inflation hose is slower than it was, but that does not mean that the water level or the price level is lower. Price of groceries is still really high.

Yeah, so as you said earlier, Amanda, grocery prices have actually outpaced overall inflation over the last five or so years. And mind you, groceries are something we buy all the time. So we've all really noticed these high prices, right? Like every time you go to the grocery store, you're like, dang it, these eggs are, I don't know, like a million dollars.

What, am I going to have to get a mortgage on this freaking omelet? Yeah. However, since late 2023, the rate of inflation for groceries has significantly slowed down. In fact, between August, 2023 and November, 2024, it was significantly lower than the overall rate of inflation. Now, I don't know what Jen is exactly buying at the grocery store. It sounds like she's a big fan of poultry products.

Eggs in particular have spiked quite a bit in recent months because of bird flu. There goes my omelets. I don't know about you, Amanda. But yeah, this increase in the price of eggs, it actually drove an increase in the overall grocery inflation rate more recently.

Okay, so you've explained what's going on now, but I think what Jen really wants to know is will grocery prices ever go down again? Will things get cheaper at the supermarket?
