Except it’s not. I have kept all of my financials in a Quicken program for almost 20 years and this year to date I’ve saved over $1300 on food expenses for a family of four compared to the same period last year under Biden, nothing changed. Gas expenses down $700. Most expenses down. You’ve got to quit reading Democrat media lies and look at the real numbers.
I note you don't include cost of transport and time.
You are using a better loyalty card program. Veggies and fruits are up from last year.
| Fresh Fruits & Veggies (CPI Basket) | $20.00 (per CPI unit) | $19.93 (per CPI unit) | ↓ 0.35% | Slight deflation |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ground Beef | $5.93/lb | $6.25/lb | ↑ 5.4% | Driven by tight cattle supply |
| Pork Chops | ~$4.50/lb | ~$4.60/lb | ↑ ~2.2% | Mild increase |
| Chicken (Broilers) | ~$2.30/lb | ~$2.30/lb | ↔ 0% | Prices held steady |

Hopefully, US Citizens. Compromising Border Security and Immigration so you can have your greens is not a justification.
LOL. Yes, I know these prices are skyrocketing in blue states. Your figures are meaningless because different areas of the country have different prices. I have no idea what you are paying where you live but I'm guessing you don't even know anything past your worthless stats. However, I have kept track of my finances in a Quicken program for almost 20 years now so I know what I pay and it is a lot less than last year and it has nothing to do with a better loyalty program.
only if the consumer buys foreign products. there are no tariffs on American grown produce.
the inflation rate is down a lot from the Biden disaster. still there but much lower. That is the point. doofus
Hey dummy... guess what... Your full of shit as usual. When foreign produce is imported the price of the American goes up as well..
It’s hard or impossible to grow everything we want here. We rely on other countries for avocados, bananas, oranges and coffee.
That's not how it works. A store won't have two prices for the same item. If import price is a certain level, they will increase domestic price to match. Ever notice how gas price is within a few pennies all over town? That is the market price. The most they can sell it for without losing business.
If you pay $4.50 for pork chops, you deserved to get ripoff. I paid $1.99.
On sale. We do, too. Don't pretend its normal. And pork is not good for you, even if you are a Pole or a Russian.
