Trump has failed to decrease grocieries

[struth]

We all knew he was lying.

Trump promised lower grocery prices ‘on Day One.’ Here’s what happened​

He is such a liar, promising things he can't keep, just like the dweebs (jroc and jknowgood and Patriot, come to mind, among others here).

He is such a disappointment.

(NEXSTAR) – Campaigning for office a year ago, standing in front of a table loaded up with bags of flour, cartons of eggs and gallons of milk, President Donald Trump told voters, “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One.”

Unfortunately for him – and money-strapped Americans – it hasn’t worked out that way.

Nexstar employees around the country tracked a selection of grocery items over the past six months to see if prices would rise, fall or stay the same after Trump took office in January. Our observations, as well as federal data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), show grocery prices overall have remained stubbornly high and even increased slightly.

The overall cost of food at home has ticked up between 0.2% and 0.4% almost every month since January, according to BLS tracking. One exception was in April 2025, when prices went down 0.1% from the month before. All those tiny increases have added up to a 3% increase in food prices year-over-year.

The situation at any given grocery store is more nuanced and varied than the top-line national average would indicate.

Goods that are shelf-stable also turned out to be pretty price-stable at the grocery stores we checked in San Jose, California; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Bismarck, North Dakota between January and July of 2025. The price of a box of cookies didn’t change at all over the six-month period.

Here’s what happened

Grocery prices experience biggest drop in almost 5 years

Food at-home costs fell 0.4% in April

As with any economic system, some items are lower, others the same. The rate at which they were increasing has drastically slowed.

I remember a $1 overnight price hike for pasta just a few years back. Now, pasta is down.

The only thing that seems to remain stubbornly high is beef.

I hope beef prices kerp going up. Start paying processers a ton more or close up shop. Win win.

Who should i trust? Let me get a bag to laugh in before you reply.

Trust your wallet... make a list and buy every item on that list... than in two weeks buy the very same items... I guarantee you there will be no increase... than do it again... and again... if you see one thing going up let me know...

 

[Old Rocks]

Shop around, there are low food prices out there. Prices are influenced more by the market than by Washington. Just boycott high priced foods and watch the prices drop like a rock.

Ever hear of supply and demand? A demand for a low supply item increases the price of that item.

One reason why beef is not going down is the fact that some nations like Japan have agreed to buy more US beef... so until production catches up they won't speculate lower prices... but you can find deals from time to time... you just have to do your homework before you go to the store...

We still have a garden. It feels good to NOT support business people.

Also, why choose USMB to use as a bucket for such vomit?

He never persuades anyone with his pointless rhetoric, anyway.

It’s all about payment and negative Trump thread title and threads for cash and to increase the “head count” about how so many dislike Trump intensely

 

[WEATHER53]

He said the food prices would be lower.

Not even close.

Mommy told me I could go out and play but now won’t let me

Perhaps. I don’t understand the value of such things. How do they monetize such nonsense?

It’s not really about reading and responding to posts but is about getting an increase in the negative hit counts in
Trump for a fee .

When I was a child, when we traveled I saw almost everybody in rural areas had a large garden. When we were in one place long enough, my mom always planted a large garden and we canned out of it, and fruit that we gleaned from abandoned homesteads. Now hardly anyone seems to have a garden.

I don’t grasp how a turd, like Soros (or whomever), gets any value from such silly shit.

Lib loons don’t ascribe to fruits of labor so no labor and no fruits
They tried to outlaw gardening when the Covid hoax got underway

Pay crop pickers fairly. If you dont want a big increase in wages to american crop pickers thennlet the crops ALL rot.

I get that. But how does it help a piece of shit, like Soros?

I have this lingering doubt about how anyone outside of our little posting community could be influenced by any of the dozens of TDS imbecility spewed by little bug.80.

Indeed, even within our posting community it is absurd to believe that the nonsense posted by bug.80 influences anyone. The libturds are already on board with his baseless propaganda. No persuasion required.

But, thinking people are never persuaded by such sophistry.

I have been getting most things at Aldi's and local stores and they are cheaper and better than Walmart if you get the right things. Walmart is inflated across the board. \
Okay, right now I'm cussing the Walmart tube hamburger with the yellow tag I got cuz it sucks and I just made 10 tacos with it. And it's tough, and it's dry. Yellow tag got me.
Just say "no" to Walmart hamburger.
It doesn't taste like hamburger should even. That was the 2nd time in 1 year. No more.

It’s all about hit counts to run with negative reviews of Trump as if it’s near unanimous. It’s a fraud against Trump and Soros is Not concerned about the monetary benefit .
