Beef prices had not one - but TWO historic price hikes under Biden.
Once in late 2020, and another in 2022.

G5000 - "It's Trump's fault"

It's like he isn't even trying to be unbiased.

Trump got elected because of high food prices

Food prices have not only not come down… in some cases they have increased

I don’t recall Trumpers advocating better shopping practices when Biden was Prez but that seems to be their answer here

Prices by the end of June, Harry, will give us some signals where all this goes.

Beef prices set records last month at U.S. grocery stores, and economists expect they will climb further as demand increases during the summer grilling season that traditionally begins with cookouts on Memorial Day on Monday.

One consumer feeling the pinch is DeAndrea Chavis, an artificial intelligence analyst in Raleigh, North Carolina, who buys ground beef nearly every week to prep tacos and other dishes for lunch but lately is making smaller portions because of rising prices.

Chavis said she has seen lean ground beef prices climb above $9 per pound from $6 to $8 in recent months. She is planning to keep hamburgers on the menu for a cookout next week but may have more hot dogs in the mix to control costs.

"Ground beef is supposed to be a cheaper option," said Chavis, 28. "Now that is even starting to add up."

The MAGA crowd blamed high egg prices on Biden, so what goes around comes around.

Karma.

Are you tired of winning yet?

Food prices are like Golfing.
George W. Bush promised not to Golf while our soldiers were at war.
And then republicans tried to hold Obama to a promise Bush made.

Now Trump promised to lower food prices on day one, and they're trying to hold Biden to a promise Trump made.

We're talking average nationwide prices, not a single item at a single store.

As you know, grocery stores often have "loss leader" sales to get people in the door, which differentiates anecdotal prices from data.

Explain....if you can.

Under Sleepy Joes watch...beef bologna went up to over $10 a LB @ the W-word.

Bologna is all over the place price wise. Google shows me brand names for as little as $11 for a 5 lb. tube up to gourmet stuff for $17 for 8oz.

gonna call bullshit. My father raises boutique beef cattle. Wagyu (not "waygu") is around $13 per pound even for American grown. The real imported stuff is $50 lb.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Will democrats ever give up lying?

No lies from the OP. Prices are going up under Trump and will continue, along with higher interest rates and inflation, all while our debt gets massively more expensive to pay off.

I know what I spent for groceries under Biden, and what I’m spending today. And today’s bill is lower.

 

[Scoutster]

I already picked up my Porterhouses and tenderloins for the grill. Prices weren’t too unreasonable. Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon tomorrow morning for breakfast with my son, daughter-in-law and grandbaby.
