It's that time of year

Without any further ado - the true cost of Christmas)

OK kids, PNC bank has reported that there is a 10.5% increase in the price of the items needed for the 12 days of Christmas (compared to the 2021 pandemic prices). It is the third highest year-over-year increase in the index's history. In the 39th year of their survey, PNC has found that the 12 items come out to a grand total of $45,523.27,; a $4,3,27.69 increase from 2021. The cost of this year's CPI increase was driven by pandemic-related supply chain disruptions and elevated energy and commodity prices impacting the cost of goods and services. (I did not know this but you do not get any bargains by purchases these item online; buying all 12 items from the comfort of your living room would cost you $49,663.73, ($4,064.64 more than in-store purchases.) an increase of 8.19% from the 2021s on-line total of $45,599.09.



These prices are, of course, just for one verse of the song. If you add up the total cost of all the items from the entire song (what PNC Wealth Management calls “The True Cost of Christmas”) it would surmount $197,071.09, a 9.8% increase from 2021!
