Groceries up 2.4% from 2024 - expected to rise another 1.6% this year. Must be Biden’s fault [NT] - jimbasil - 12:36pm 2/9/26 (25) [View All]
- Prices are sticky. As food price inflation goes, that’s pretty good. Other stuff is the issue [NT] - LanceManion - 2:07pm 2/9/26
  - Beef prices are up due to DJT's tariffs...Egg prices are down due to Bird Flu abating; nothing to do [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 8:05pm 2/9/26
    - You are full of it. Grocery prices correlate with gas prices, which are way down under Trump. [NT] - LanceManion - 8:25pm 2/9/26
      - Read the link, Lance ;-)...NIQ Global (i.e. Nielsen) has been monitoring consumer prices for years.. - TyroneIrish - 11:16pm 2/9/26
  - About 4 or 5 months after Biden took over I remember being in the store with the WTF look - Frankx - 4:57pm 2/9/26

        At the market, where else? [NT] - jimbasil - 6:29pm 2/9/26
        Did you check Mamdani's? [NT] - iairishcheeks - 7:24pm 2/9/26
        "Crazy Zoran's"? The prices are...INSANE! [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 8:31pm 2/9/26
        He really is INSANE! [NT] - Frankx - 9:10pm 2/9/26
        
        The only thing lower than our prices is our inventory. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 8:58pm 2/9/26
        
        You need to find a new market. - PaND - 6:32pm 2/9/26
        Pretty simple stuff, I'm with you. [NT] - Frankx - 6:45pm 2/9/26
        You can get Hellman’s for $ 3.50 on Amazon…if your local market is really charging $12. [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 6:59pm 2/9/26
        I just looked, 30oz jar Amazon $3.49, my girl just ordered it [NT] - Frankx - 9:25pm 2/9/26
    - 22-23 were brutal. Trump has stopped the bleeding but prices don’t go down. - LanceManion - 5:53pm 2/9/26
      - I just gave you the figures and you’re saying it got better since trump. Brilliant! - jimbasil - 5:56pm 2/9/26
        You must live in Hawaii b/c celery here is $2.50/bunch and mayo is $3.50. Meat is expensive. [NT] - LanceManion - 6:19pm 2/9/26
        He must get that really, really good Celery. [NT] - Frankx - 9:33pm 2/9/26
        Interesting insight into Basil. The kind of guy who pays MSRP+ for a Kia. [NT] - LanceManion - 9:49pm 2/9/26
  - The fancy two step - not a cult. [NT] [LINK] - jimbasil - 2:42pm 2/9/26
- Is that 2.4 in 2025 and 1.6 expected in 2026? Not bad. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 12:58pm 2/9/26
  - You’re a clever MAGAcult member, I’m sure you’ll figure it out. [NT] - jimbasil - 1:02pm 2/9/26
