Gas now averages over $4.50 a gallon, and electricity’s back to record highs. The Middle East conflict is choking fuel supplies, with the Strait of Hormuz shut down and U.S. blockades on Iranian ports. Food and shelter costs are also climbing, though eggs are down 50% and tomatoes are lower than peak—but tariffs keep them pricey. Ground beef’s at a record high due to low cattle supply and strong demand, while chicken stays steady. Electricity bills are skyrocketing, and gas prices keep climbing, especially in cities like Chicago where it’s over $5 a gallon.
