grocery prices why down

I have heard Trump several times saying that grocery prices are way down. Quite the opposite is true where I shop. Is it a lie, or are there parts of the country where the prices have actually gone down?

Have not gone down in S.E. Florida according to wife who does the shopping.

Hate its all the left knows

What does that have to do with grocery prices?

Well. I’ve had free tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans , carrots, and lettuce for several months And I hope my neighbor plants a larger garden next year . I guess the wild plums that grow wild on the farm were the same price as they were last year. It wasn’t a great year for them this year though as it was about 1/2 what it was last And I know that was Trumps fault

Grocery prices are high. But with the exception of beef, I think they have plateaued from the Biden era. Beef is definitely Up! Eggs are down. Most everything else has stabilized and not expecting them to ever return to what they were before. Inflation is always permanent.

Complaining always fixes problems

The damage done by the scumbag democrat's "inflation reduction (production) act" are still being felt. How quickly they forget about $7 gas prices in CA and $5 gas in NYC. Oil drives the American economy. When fuel and energy prices go down, all prices will be down. Unfortunately they rise faster than they drop.

Republicans do not have the answers to all the problems in America, but democrats have definitely caused all the problems in America!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot: democrats can go fuck themselves!! You did this!!

Friend of mine has a VERY large land holding near me. His neighbor took a bale of hay into the university for testing, protein etc. After testing the hay, he was advised not to feed it to animals as it was contaminated with fiberglass. YEP, solar wind mills on his neighboring property had shed and ruined his production.

Like Clyde I grow some of my own food. Neighbors have chickens and share/trade eggs for produce so egg prices have not substantially impacted us. We back up to a lake so Crappie are available and I make a guided fishing trip annually so Striper and Catfish are in the freezer. Dove season just opened, so a few of them have been bartered from neighbors. "I'm from the country and I like it that way" goes the song.

Well stated mistaflyer52

Hate to tell you but according to the Mrs, grocery prices are down, by like 30% according to her quick math just now. To be fair, beef is still high, but we don't by much these days so our overall grocery bill reflects that.
Eggs are down , bacon is down, and apples are still a bargain (this time of year, we won't know what apples out of storage will cost for a few months)
Red, that sucks about your friends hay, I sure hope he goes after the windmill company to recover his loss.

Trump says all kinds of stupid chit, he shouldn’t be allowed to talk.

“Newly released inflation figures show that President Donald Trump was wrong when he repeatedly claimed this month that grocery prices are “down” or “way down.”

They were up, again, last month. And they have increased since the start of his presidency.

Average grocery prices rose 0.3% from August to September, according Consumer Price ••••• figures released Friday. That increase followed a 0.6% jump from July to August, which was the biggest month-to-month jump in three years.

Average grocery prices in September were about 2.7% higher than they were a year prior and about 1.4% higher than they were in January, the month Trump returned to office.”

Windex without the w is the censored word

I know the price of eggs have came down and a few other things
trump said he was checking on getting beef from Argentine
It was much cheaper and the rancher are bitching about it
But they never said why the price of us beef is going up
Does everyone know why it so high?

“ Beef is so expensive due to a combination of decreased supply and high demand. Factors like recent droughts and high grain prices have forced ranchers to shrink their herds, leading to the smallest cattle inventory since the 1950s. Simultaneously, consumer demand for beef has remained strong. ”

Fuel prices are dropping daily. Fucking impatient cunts. Biden did a lot of damage and democrats have no intention to help.

Prices up here. Gas stable. Coffee is up alot. Gotta luv don the con The convicted felon!!

Part of the beef increase is to due to California. With their attack on the beef industry. Don’t forget cow •••• that needs to be taxed.

You forgot that Biden closed thousands of acres of public grazing land. There’s a lot more to it than grain prices.
Beef from Argentina is low quality and is only going to lower the cost of ground beef.
I get my beef from a farm ten minutes from my house. Same family owned since 1794. Pasture raised Black Angus. I haven’t bought beef from a grocery store in over fifteen years.
My wife sent a message this morning and she will have Chuck roast and flank steak and some ribeye for me tomorrow morning.

Also we are not letting Mexican beef into the country because of some fucking screw worm parasite infecting their cattle.
That has had a huge impact on the supply.

You have to understand, Argentina does not export their best beef...they keep the good beef in country....Which is what we should do ourselves.. We too buy our beef from local private own markets..small operators can process meats as well as the large processing plants and it's fresher.

Brings me to another product...Coffee.. Long ago a friend told me that Brazil and the other coffee producing countries have never exported their best coffees...a story for another time...

So the porn site grocery price ••••• says. . . Hahahahaha

The orange felon dictator king cult leader is lying!!!!!

Lying I tell you, lying!!!!!!!!!!!

The world as we know it is ending!

Trump is building a ballroom for Putin, what will we do?!?!?!

The stock market will crash!

Trump is starting WWIII.

Trump is putting brown people in concentration camps!

Trump is declaring martial law in order to suspend the elections but I marched at the no kings rally and showed him!

I am sure I missed something. Hahahaha

I have to go, we are going to find some Tesla's to vandalize, we are still doing that aren't we? LOL

Oddly enough, there are only around 70 to 90 items in the grocery store indexx and rate of increase varies greatly by state, all are added up and then averaged.


So where I live it is fairly flat but when you add in the 7% from states like Pennsylvania, Vermont, Maryland and New Jersey, you see a spike.

I have no idea why the left took Trump literally, the man is a boisterous salesman, funny that they did not vote for him and are so angry at the right for not being as obsessed as they are, for not seeing the world as negatively as they do.

Prices are way more stable than they were under Biden, tariffs, well time will tell on all that, way too soon to judge their success or failure.

One thing for certain, we are heading to a fiscal crisis with our debt, at some point we will have to make mandatory cuts to critical programs, you think people are crying now, wait until then.

We must increase GDP in order to work on paying off our debt.

What Dem politician has shared their plan to decrease the annual deficit, to balance the budget, to ay off the debt, I have not seen one Dem discuss it.

In the end, I myself am better off with Trump as president than when Biden was in office, and I say that as we are getting close to missing another 6 figure draw since the government is shut down.

I have a friend that is with the CNI in Mexico, she was telling us about the cartels control over Avocados, Limes and Agave.

She was saying their control has increased prices of those exports way more than tariffs have.

Ain't that phucked up, dang cartels controlling peoples food supply.

Not many prices are down in California. But lots of tax increases start in January due to Newsom. As long as Guinness doesn't go up to much it will be OK. And yes my crops were less this year. Anyone want some fine Irish water?

Sam,,,agave? Does this mean the cartel is now making money from the margaritas I buy?

California, this area anyway is constantly sprayed with Chem trails. Does anybody wonder if that is screwing up the crops to? I have built many Square feet under cover to block the sun scorch and Chem trails. Also 3 of my hives have left .

Only egg prices are down in California, everything else is going up still. I am lucky I don't buy eggs anyway when they were high. I get about a dozen a day for now.

I guess this has been going on for awhile... but it seems the manufacturers and stores have weight issues. Not only shrinkflation where the package size is reduced for the same price. But the utube vids I watched have people coming home and weighing their food. Some videos showed people weighing their meat on the vegetable scales in the store. 6lbs of chicken only weighs 4.5lbs. Same thing with prepackaged goods. I remember one buying a 12oz package of bacon but weighing it at home at 7.5ozs. Cereals, chips, tuna... all kinds of things were weighed. The store won in every case except one. 3 or 4oz bottles of real bacon bits were all over the place. Some were close to 6ozs... but all were over the weight on the bottle.

See how bored a retired guy can get? I'm watching fuckin' food weighing videos...lol

If things get worse maybe we can all go live in the Trump ballroom

Yes hangingout778 i think an breakfast muffin from Mcdonalds is smaller ? ,i even got a tape measure out and measured one ! .

Hang, its amazing the strange video we find nowadays. Sad to see the corporations ripping us off even more though.

A dozen large eggs were on sale for .99, and I thought 1.99 and 1.50 was cheap!

I shop and my bills was lower then when auto pen was in.

A September outlook report from the United States Agriculture Department estimates that wholesale prices for frozen turkeys will be $1.32 per pound this year, a 40% increase from 2024's average of $0.94 per pound.

Thanks Trump

Gotta own the bad if you you wanna brag about the good

In California turkey is like 60 cents with 25 dollar purchase excluding alcohol during the holiday season. Easy spending 25 to 150 with Newsom inflation. Adding 5 for a turkey is nothing. Everything is up because of democrats in California. They have over taxed Everything. Always new taxes in California with democrats in control. Turkey 132,,,who cares about turkey when you have the highest taxes, highest gas, highest electric, highest inflation, than any other state.
