We all have our ways of measuring how bad inflation and pricing has become.

Some use how much they pay for a hamburger in a restaurant now.

My measuring stick is the omelette.

It wasn’t all that long ago that I could get my denver omelette with hash brown and toast for say $9.99.

This week one at a favorite place in Fort Collins I got my Denver omelette for $17. Now I admit the typical increase is usually up to

$13 or around that range.

I bought it and it came out like an omelette whale. It was very, very good and very, very big.

So big I took it home and had it again for dinner.

Hey, two meals, under $9 apiece.

But don’t get me started on the ice tea increase.
