I just came from the grocery store

[In It to Win It]

Prices weren't any lower. They were actually slightly higher.

Just saying.

[TommieMommy]

1. I agree with that. I went yesterday 😡

[Irish_Dem]

2. You must be mistaken. Prices are rock bottom.

And everyone is now so rich it doesn't matter.

Eggs are so cheap they are giving them away.

[In It to Win It]

4. Then this must be a hostile and political act

that they display prices that are higher than they actually are. This is an attack against America.

7. Ice Gestapo should go arrest them and send them to the gulag.

[senseandsensibility]

3. He's been lying and saying the prices are lower

They're not. Yesterday at my local grocery store an entire section was empty. It was a refrigerated section usually filled with all kinds of fresh fruit juices (Tropicana brand with their wonderful orange/mango that I buy when it's on sale) but many other brands and flavors and all the iced coffee drinks . There may have been other things in the section but those are the two I usually browse when I'm in the mood for them. Completely empty. Don't know if that's a sign of things to come or what.

5. Excuse me,..... excuse me,....

The Tangerine Fuhrer says the price of eggs came down 93.7% since djt came back into office.

Djt says fuck Brandon,... he said it could not be done. Fuck him with a rusty pogostick.

King/Fuhrer/Messiah trDUMP is da bomb.

6. I think they got used to price gouging with no limits

And prices will never come down now to pre covid levels.

[walkingman]

9. Just the threat of increasing cost give them an excuse to raise prices.

and with little local competition anymore corporate America knows there isn't a damn we can do about it.

Government could intervene but capitalism has become a religion in America.

10. Yes

Last time at Stopnshop I noticed they had lowered some prices and advertised it... I went there to pick up something because Aldis was already closed- I wish they stayed open later. Stopnshop is one of the priciest here, so I stopped going there mostly. But on a sale you can get a good deal still. One good thing is they have a better produce return policy, they give you back 1.5 for anything that goes bad if you return it.

8. I went today. The only thing lower is my bank account. $2.49 for salt, $4.44 for paprika, eggs

were $6.49.

[usonian]

11. I read stories of empty shelves, so I stocked up (planning on Trumpageddon, but that's another story I'll post).

Shelves were full in reddest California. Plenty of TP, dishwasher pods and laundry detergent.

12. I went grocery shopping on Thursday and didn't notice much of a difference.

Except for avocados which were 70 cents for months before going up to 88 cents for a couple of weeks had dropped to 69 cents.

[Trust_Reality]

16. Sounds pretty good. Our (organic) avocados jumped from about $2.20 to about $3.50 each.

[elocs]

20. I couldn't justify paying that much for an avocado, but it's the only fruit I eat.

I eat a carnivore diet, so no veggies at all for me.

[Trust_Reality]

21. No veggies? Good luck!

[elocs]

22. I haven't had veggies for years now and am very healthy. My doctor is fine with my diet

because he has seen the great results in my labs as well as my body. At 72 I'm in better shape than I was at 52--lighter and stronger.

[pnwest]

13. wow. My price barometer is the price of 18 large eggs at WallyWorld.

So I just took a look and that's gone down a dollar since the last time I bought. Top price was $8.62 - then several weeks ago it came down to $6.82, and today it's at $5.82. At least THAT'S something.

But, on the flip side, I'm seeing coffee prices and TP going up. Costco, Amazon AND WallyWorld.

14. re: eggs

...So I just took a look and that's gone down a dollar since the last time I bought. Top price was $8.62 - then several weeks ago it came down to $6.82, and today it's at $5.82. At least THAT'S something....

Correct...That's because the USDA goofballs stopped ordering the culling of millions laying hens because a housecat 3 miles away tested positive for something.

[Evolve Dammit]

15. definitely higher for almost everything

[3Hotdogs]

17. You probably went to a Biden store.

Everybody knows, Trump got prices lowered.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

18. Tariff-related price increases are just getting started.

Most Americans are unaware of how many Imported ingredients (especially Chinese-sourced) go into most all processed foods as well as chemicals used in food farming. Packaging costs will also be dramatically affected.

Assuming tariffs are not revoked, real increases should start within about a month according to sources I've read (sorry, I've failed to keep those bookmarked).

The more Trump rapidly collapses globalization, the more our economy will collapse. He ain't smart enough to realize (or care) that changes in the global supply chain structure must be made very slowly. But that wouldn't made for good MAGAt TV brainwashing would it?

19. Same with gas. He LIES.
