Trump will just blame his failure on lowering groceries prices on Biden/the Dems. And if prices actually increase (which they will), he'll just sell it as a miracle that they aren't higher and say that they would be if Harris had won.

Of course none of it will be based in sort of fact, but 50% of the country will buy it hook, line and sinker.
 
Trump sure can't. That was a hope I knew wasn't gonna happen. Even if fuel prices come down, retail stores will not lower their prices. probably wouldn't have been raised had fuel prices not skyrocketed. That was ruined by YKW.

You can’t place all the blame on Trump for the 2020 collapse in oil production (and the ensuing price surge once fuel demand returned). It would have happened regardless of who was President.
 
So let's take a straw poll - whose grocery bill has gone down since January 20th?
 
Of my staples ~%up:

Whole bean coffee 10%
Greek yogurt 5-10%
Greens 10%
Almonds 10%
Egg whites 10%
Salmon about level

I’m seeing $40-50/mn more out the door on groceries than last year. Granted, I’m in a high income area and the stores know it.

If you have an instant pot, you could make your own yogurt.

NOT MINE . . !

Thank the Lord that I do not have a mortgage, my kids are off on their own with no student loan debt, I have no car loans, and very good medical coverage . . I am somewhat insulated from higher fuel and utility bills.
The cost of food at the store, and the price of a meal in a restaurant still climb, eventually I will forego enjoying a drink & meal out on the town and just stay the hell home, which only hurts the establishment and it's employees.

Ditto
 
Grocery prices up including wine. Gas still $2.89 (seems like it’s been $2.89 for over a year now.)
Everything’s up.
