•
Inflation cooled slightly in November, with prices rising just 0.2% from September, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Electricity, natural gas, and gasoline costs also increased. President Trump highlighted the drop in egg prices but retail prices fell less than wholesale. Recent tariff exemptions and the national energy emergency could ease some pressures. Amid fluctuating grocery bills, unwinding after a long day may offer the best relief. Checkout Solipillow.com
