Today was a milestone. I remember when cokes were .25. And I thought I'd never see the day a coke cost a buck. Then I did, on a Utah ski slope. Today was another milestone. A regular whole baking chicken over 10 bucks. $10.28. 6.9 lb. And that's Hy-Vee weight, which means it's about 1/3 injected sodium solution and 1/3 neck and giblets. Butter and eggs are higher than I've ever seen. Eggs are like 2.50 a dozen. Never thought I'd see the day when a single whole chicken was over $10, but it's here.
