WSJ: To Save Money, Maybe You Should Skip Breakfast

I’d die if I skip breakfast.

shite my fat arse would die if I skipped any meal.

Brilliant, where do they get these ideas?

Louisianans should start trying to save money.

I mean, technically they're not wrong.

The subject of the article is the amount popular breakfast foods have gone up in price---eggs over 70%.

It's not an advice article. It is simply discussing food inflation that was in the latest report.

The writer concluded with a tongue in cheek comment about saving money by skipping breakfast or only having coffee.

Here is the article in entirety:

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.

God damn this country has fallen so far

Leggo my eggo, you commie motherfrickers

Why not save far more and skip all your meals?

Or move to a state which doesn’t prosecute shoplifting and just take a cart full of groceries at a time?

Remember. This guy gets paid to write this schite.

It's truly amazing.
