  1. I’m glad the headline mentions part of the reason. So it’s a natural result of a one time thing last year. Still a bit high, unfortunately.

    > With gas excluded, inflation rose to three per cent in December (after a 2.6 per cent jump in November).

    > Grocery price growth was unchanged between November and December but rose to five per cent when compared to the same time last year, with coffee and fresh or frozen beef still driving the increase.

    Especially that.
