Coffee prices have risen 20% YEAR OVER YEAR. Meanwhile Trump is busy trolling Biden with pictures of autopens.

Grocery prices are rising as beef, coffee hit record highs​

About half of all Americans say the cost of groceries is a major source of stress in their life and the latest inflation data shows that pressure isn’t easing.

Grocery prices rose 0.6 percent from July to August, the steepest one-month gain in roughly three years, according to the Consumer Price Index. They’re now 2.7 percent higher than a year ago and up nearly 30 percent from before the pandemic.


Grocery inflation has cooled considerably since the summer of 2022, when it peaked above 13 percent year-over-year, but President Trump’s tariffs and tighter immigration rules are clouding the outlook.

So far, Trump’s trade policies haven’t pushed up consumer prices as much as many economists feared, but some items including coffee are starting to feel the grind.


Coffee prices surged 3.6 percent in August, the biggest monthly jump since 2011, leaving them 20.9% higher than a year ago. Recent droughts in Brazil and Vietnam explain part of the increase, but the latest spike comes on the heels of Trump’s 50 percent tariff on Brazil, the world’s largest coffee exporter.

The U.S. is also highly reliant on imports — and immigrant labor — for its fresh fruits and vegetables. Tomato prices rose 4.5 percent last month, lettuce 3.5 percent and bananas 2.1 percent, the CPI shows. Overall, fresh vegetable prices climbed 3 percent in August, the largest monthly increase since 2020.

Limited cattle supply has continued to put upward pressure on beef prices, which are at record highs. Meanwhile, egg prices — though down roughly 40 percent from their March peak — remain up from a year ago amid lingering bird flu disruptions.

Coffee​

• Price Increase: +20.9 percent from August 2024 to August 2025
• Average Price: $8.87 per pound in August 2025 (Coffee, 100%, ground roast)

Coffee plants are falling victim to a deadly mold in South America this has been going on for the past 36 months.

Xoffee is getting harder to grow as global warming takes hold. Luckily we know that is just a hoax but someone should tell the beans.

Then it is all because of Biden made things better now, not Trump, I am glad you can admit that.. You might have a hard time selling that pile to the farmers who are losing their asses over zero soybean sales to China thanks to Trump, not Biden....

Trump Said He Would End Inflation on Day 1​

If Trump were doing well, the blowhard's lickspittles would be praising Trump; if Trump does crappy, they revert to pissing and moaning about Biden, a POTUS of yesteryear.

Trump persists in doing crappy bigly:

TRUMP, INFLATION: APPROVE 36.3% / DISAPPROVE 61.3%

How are those Tariffs doing?

Great

 

[HikerGuy83]

deficits incredibly high.

In spite of Bidens stupid budget, this years deficit for fiscal 2025 appears to be about 50 billion less than last year.

Hope that helps.

The tariffs on the auto industry have been delayed.

 

[yidnar]

What was it during Bidens term

about the same prices they are now .. except for fuel prices.. gas is getting way cheaper than it was a year ago .. with lower energy costs maybe it will help lower food prices .. not sure it will since companies don't usually lower prices when people are still buying ..

Locally, I believe it went up in September too.

I don’t drink coffee, and I rarely eat beef, so this works for me.

By targetted you mean screwed.


Nope this is all Trump all the time. How are those Tariffs doing?

The Tariffs are what is funding WIC benefits during the shut down.

Beef is pricy we have to keepreminding democrats that everyone else goes to the store and gas station too.Which you we're oblivious to during the illegal biden regime.

Didnt we just close a beef deal with argentina.Yeah, beef prices should come down.Somewhat, muh eggs, muh eggs, muh eggs, muh eggs

 

[sealybobo]

Don't worry Trump will make it all better.

Yea and Trump supporters just say this is all fake news. Then they repeat the fake news Trump tells them. This really is amazing times we are in.

Did you hear Elon and GROK are coming out with a right wing wikipedia? Alternative facts???

Things like this don't happen when the economy is doing well. Republicans need to wake the **** up.

The recent layoffs at Amazon are not due to AI but rather a strategic decision to reduce the corporate workforce. The company aims to be more organized and efficient by eliminating roles that are not aligned with its future investments in AI and other areas. This decision is part of a broader trend of corporate downsizing across various industries, driven by the need to adapt to rapid technological changes and economic conditions.

When the economy is bad, these kinds of things happen. If the economy were great, Amazon would be HIRING not firing.
