Shoppers Are Changing Habits to Fight High Grocery Prices

LOL. There is no inflation (net of wage growth) under Trump after 35% grocery price inflation under Biden and you -------- are whining prices are not falling fast enough. In fact, wage growth under Trump has given Americans an increase in disposable income just like in his 1st term. If we look at the core products like eggs and gas - wholesale prices for eggs are way down and retail is starting to follow. Oil is $57 per barrel and OPEC is increasing volumes - gas will drop (except for California). With the low energy prices and increasing wages, the cost of goods will finally become affordable again for average Americans. All the liberals have is fear monger over 'future inflation - trust me bro' that they repeat over and over again.

Consumer prices were down in March in absolute terms and overall prices - net of wage growth - has been negative since he was sworn in. So, promises made / promises kept. Maybe you are just sad because you are seeing the opposite trend up in Canada.

"Well, has the Russia unprovoked invasion of Ukraine ended and he promised?

Zelensky said a ceasefire could happen any day and activities on the front have slowed despite the Democrats and Europeans trying to expand the war. Promises made / promises kept.

It was hyperbole - like when Biden said he would cure cancer. It is only a lie if you were dumb enough to believe anything a politician says.

"Trump cut cancer research 25%. What does that say?
#19 | Posted by snoofy"

It means he can cut the remaining 75% now that Biden has cured it. Oh, wait.

"#16 | Posted by TrueBlue"

ALL politicians lie - this includes Trump. I have no problem with you saying Trump lies - because he does. Where I have a problem is when Trump uses hyperbole or offers an opinion and you ------- factcheck him on it and then gloat like you caught him in a lie when you would never apply the same standard to the Democrats.

"Yeah, all politicians lie, Democrats and Republicans.
#28 | Posted by LampLighter"

Trump uses more hyperbole than past presidents. If you fact check hyperbole and personal opinions, you will probably get 20 lies a day for Trump. To me, that is meaningless because factchecking hyperbole and personal opinions is meaningless.

It is just funny to me that politicians lying is only a problem when the GOP does it. BTW - do you admit that both Obama and Biden lied?

"They've all lied. But not nearly to the degree as Trump. Are you willing to acknowledge this basic fact?
#30 | Posted by rstybeach11"

So your concern is not over lying because you acknowledge that they all lie - your concern is only over the degree of lying? I guess even on that metric - it depends on what you mean. If Trump lies about his polling or crowd size or even working to bring down prices (which I consider hyperbole) because he is working on it starting day 1 but results will take time, it really doesn't impact me and I couldn't care less. Same as Biden stating he will cure cancer - I know he is at least trying. If it is about serious things, I care much more about that. For instance, when Biden said he couldn't do anything on the border while 10M+ illegals streamed into the country without action from Congress - that MATTERS. Are all of them lies? Yep. Do I care about all of them equally? Nope. And it has nothing to do with political party - it is about if the lie actually impacts my life.

"Is there a bigger lie than the media spin and Bidens mental decline?
#35 | Posted by oneironaut"

No. This is BY FAR the biggest scandal in American history. To this day, no one is able to tell us who was actually running the country. It clearly was not Biden. The American people deserved to both know of Biden's true mental state as well as who was calling the shots. Biden should have been replaced under the 25th amendment in 2023 at the latest. The people that propagated that lie should all be in jail - they placed every single US citizen in danger by covering this up.

"They seem to be desperate to talk about anything other than the fact Donald, the Executive Order Dictator, Trump's policies are hurting Americans.
#39 | Posted by ClownShack"

Why would anyone be interested in talking about an alternative reality that only exists in the minds of liberals?

April jobs beat expectations
April wage growth higher than inflation
April layoffs DOWN

All the horrible things liberals always predict never happen. So, why talk about this liberal fantasy land?

"Americans are suffering because of Trump.
#42 | Posted by ClownShack"

Let's live in a fact based world - how exactly are people suffering under Trump?

Here are the FACTS:
April jobs beat expectations
April wage growth higher than inflation
April layoffs DOWN

Sorry, but this is reality. Now, if you want to bring some actual facts to the table, I would be happy to discuss them.

"Unemployment is up due to Trump's policies."

That is an outright lie.

www.jpmorgan.com

"Prices for goods and services are up due to Trump's policies."

We are waiting on April to see if there is a material uptick in inflation. The last month we had was March:
Inflation was 2.4%, a 6 month low.
www.cnn.com

"The assault on our democracy continues due to Trump's policies."

Because he deported illegal, wife-beating, gang members? Yeah, real assault there.

"The loss to our nation is incalculable due to not enough time having passed to fully understand the impact from all th lost trade deals and trade partners."

Well, with the time that has passed, YOU HAVE NOTHING BUT WHINING. I posted the numbers above. As I said, you live in some imbecilic liberal world with fear of the feature completely ignoring the reality around you.

"People can't afford as much at the grocery stores any longer."

Thanks to Joe Biden. For Trump, inflation in March was 2.4% and wage gain was 3.8% annualized. Trump delivered a REAL INCREASE IN INCOME of 1.4% in the month (annualized). That makes things MORE AFFORDABLE -------, not less.

"Every action Trump has taken has hurt America, and is impacting the lives of Americans.
#45 | Posted by ClownShack"

Yet, you can't point out any of these actions with actual data - just pure emotion. I know you are a homosexual, but your argue like a girl - just emotion, no logic, no data.

"Slurpers gotta slurp.
#52 | Posted by Danforth"

You would know - 2000 guys blown and still going strong was what you bragged about before.

But to more important things - are you finally going to provide the link to back up your ridiculous claim that the .1% got over 50% of the Trump tax cuts? Or, run to mommy and be --------?

"#57 | Posted by Sycophant"

Per usual, you are either lying or stupid.

"April wage growth remains UNCHANGED." - read the rest of the sentence in your own linked article -------. it says "In April, wage growth remained unchanged. Year-over-year, wages grew at a 3.8% rate.". So, exactly like I said - wage growth remains strong especially considering inflation was only 2.4% in March so US workers got a 1.4% increase in spending power.

"Monthly job growth in 2025 averages 25,000 less per month than 2024."

Why on earth would you compare the average for an entire year to a 4 month period? Second, in 2024, the government admitted that they overcounted jobs created in April 2023-March 2024 by nearly 1M. The next revision for 2024 will only be released in August of 2025 and expect the same MASSIVE downward revision to occur. After we get that, we can talk about what the average for 2024 was.

"April 2025 layoffs are up 63% compared to April 2024 layoffs."

Absolutely because DOGE is taking out the trash and firing the lazy federal employees and defunding their corrupt NGO money laundering scheme through USAID. This is a good thing.

"If I was in a conversation with folks, and one person kept bringing up BJs and TruckStop sex
#58 | Posted by Danforth"

Well, I have never mentioned TruckStop sex so you must be included in a lot of conversations about your deviant lifestyle. Maybe it was brought up when you were serving one of your 2000 dudes?

"Trump's policies have put Americans out of work, destabilized our economy, and raised prices for food and services Americans can no longer afford.

You have made 3 claims in this post and not a single one is factually correct. Good job with that.
