Rising Prices

[Synthaholic]

Prices are rising, and will soon start to rise noticeably. I went to Walmart yesterday, and the almond milk that was $2.42 for months and months and months is now $2.63. The Yeungling 12 packs that have been the same price since literally the Obama years is now $1.50 more. Over $2.00 more at Publix.

With the war in Iran, gas prices will start to jump. That will be on Trump.

How do you figure that?

The USA isn't fighting Iran, this is a conflict between Israel and Iran, President Trump didn't start this war, and BTW would love to have it ended.

In fact, he took the opportunity to encourage the Ayatoilet to start negotiating so the war can be over.

Strange how you were silent or disbelieving when we pointed out the rising prices in 2023 and 2024.

Those prices you say were the same for 'months and months'.....a .19 cent increase isn't that big of a deal and from Obama years, neither would be $1.50 in 10+ years. Either you don't shop much or your stores have been eating the increases on those items.


Now if your prices were jumping by dollars every few months, you might have something to complain about.........and as usual, it's
'all Trumps fault'.



Good grief can't you people come up with a new MO

Thanks to TACO's tariffs, meat prices are also higher.

Meat prices remain higher across the country, with staples like steak, chicken and ground beef still costing significantly more than they did a year ago.

You ignored the Biden inflation. Now, a war started by Israel is Trump's fault? When the angels were passing out brains you thought they said trains and didn't want one. You got your wish. $2.42 was higher than that during King Biden's reign. Went down and now is going up some. It might just be an adjustment.

Here......you forgot a few important tidbits in your zeal, but no TACO for you



The number of head of cattle in the United States is at a low really not seen since the 1950s," said Nate Rempe, president and CEO of Omaha Steaks,
"That supply pressure is really putting a lot of upward pressure on price, especially as demand is still so strong in the U.S."

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, meat prices have increased year-over-year, with steak up 7%, ground beef 10%, chicken nearly 3% and ham over 4%. Rempe believes the issue goes beyond tariffs and trade policy.


The American cattle herd hit historic lows this year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The latest USDA report shows a multi-year pattern of decline in the number of cows and heifers.

Well, facts don't matter to the Democrats.

There was no Biden inflation. There was post-Covid supply line problems, and the fact that China didn't distribute vaccines, so their shipping industry also was behind. Trump's mismanagement of Covid caused the inflation.

Trump is responsible for the Israel attacks and and consequences. They would not have done it without a US green light, which they claim was given.

Okay, almost 10% didn't happen under Biden. Trump didn't mismanage anything. It was Biden who kept us under lock and key. No, stupid Biden pulled the plug on oil we own and were selling around the world. So funny.

Prices for major appliances went up more than 4% in May from April, according to the government. The cost of appliances has been rising since the start of 2025 after largely falling in 2024 and 2023. Tariffs are boosting prices for appliances since many are manufactured abroad or rely on imported components.

Prices of appliances are rising after tariffs

Prices for major appliances surged 4.3% in May largely due to rising manufacturing costs from tariffs. Costs could go up even more later in the year.
