Trumpflation: Record beef prices raise Memorial Day cookout costs

[otto105]

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?

Was not the cost of everything going massively down Day One?

What the fuckup happened to that fuckups.

Never had it but I like to try it...me loves the stuff.

It's so bad for you.

I bought what I wanted during Biden; this wasn't like during Reagan, when prices were high and so was unemployment.

Who cares about your single experience?
Clearly 20-40% inflation is worse than 2.3%
It's not rocket science.

We currently have 15-20% inflation. The Shitler! regime is lying to you.

Democrats plan on banning private livestock ownership.

If Kamala won Democrats would have moved on from killing all the chickens to killing all the cows.

An American voting for democrats is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders

Democrats = traitors

When you start seeing giant SUVs with fogged windows sitting out side your house...you know it was me that turn'd you in.

Maybe you cooked it wrong or something...that stuff makes my penis harder than Chinese math.?

I'm already on all the watchlists because of the career path I took and recently retired from. They're gonna run outta parking space soon, I live in a suburb.

 

[j-mac]

I will say I was wrong, which you will never do. But if Trump keeps it up, what I say is what will happen.

Oh really, you haven’t been right yet.

 

[Cellblock2429]

I really really hope you dumb fuck lefty posters who post inane shit for years are getting paid as Dem surrogates.

If not, you have no excuse for how fucking stupid your window licking posts are.

/—-/ window licking???

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

Food prices have come down some, for sure. Gas is at a 4 year low. Trump did better in 3 months on gas prices than poopypants did in 4 years.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Not in comparison to last December and this January.

By the beginning of July, will you note how much it will be going up.

Tariffs and shipping dislocations and shortages are inflationary, j-mac.

What tariffs are there on domestic beef?

 

[airplanemechanic]

What the fuckup happened to that fuckups.

Nobody ever claimed costs would go down massively on day one. Trump said he will start to do things to bring down prices on day one. And he did. In 3 months he erased 4 years of Bidenflation to gas prices. THAT'S DAMN FUCKING GOOD.

Only you idiots think that prices would drop on day 1. It took poopypants 4 years to fuck things up. You give Trump 1 day to fix it.

Fuck you.

What SPECIFICALLY did Trump do since taking office that caused domestic beef prices to rise? Breathe? Take a crap every now and then? Eat a meal?

$9.99 per lb for T bones last year and $7.99 this year
Libs and lies starts with an L, ends with an S , has an I as the second letter and are 4 letters each
It’s not coincidence. They are synonymous

Your shopping at good places. I just paid 17.99 a pound for a really good porterhouses.
