Grocery cost question
- Thread starter firegiver
- Start date
No, how about an economic gauge.
Are you telling me you have been bitching about grocery prices for a year now but don’t even know how to measure the prices ?
Trump will be graded at the mid terms. He is going to do his thing for the next 2 years and lets see what happens.
They won’t put a metric out there to measure grocery prices because they don’t like accountability. One year from now grocery prices will be lower.
Joe has been ****ing it up for 4 years.So fast means two years?
Trump has been in office 2 days and I already saw BOGO deals at the grocery store. They are already lower
WOWZA! I haven't seen those in a long time - except every time I've been in the grocery store the last few years.........
What is your measure for grocery prices.
Put the starting point so we can come back and see if they go up or down.
What’s your starting point?
I don't know the best way to do it but this website tracks them over time with a graph

Folks, it is day two and eggs are already reaching unsustainable numbers. Help me my family is starving
Look, Trump already ended global warming on his first day in office, and now you want grocery prices lower on the first day too? give the man a couple weeks.
Shouldn't the administration, who was elected with the mandate to lower prices, establish that metric now?
Are you saying the administration who largely lost on high grocery prices didnt have a way to measure them?
Yes, it was a joke at the expense of @firegiver and @dumbpic.
They recognize that a large part of why Joe Biden and Kammy lost re-election was their inability to stop general inflation and more specifically food inflation.
Despite their claimed expertise and knowledge, they have no idea on how to measure whether prices go up or down. They just want to complain. Anyway, im just trying to get them to give us a starting point so we can check back in a year and see who was right. They refuse to produce any metric or starting point. Hence my joke that Trump has already brought down prices in 2 days because i saw bogo's.
These two clowns refuse to be held accountable. I'll help them out. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics puts out a report called CPI every month and you can track the prices of food. Below is the latest report so we can reference a year from now and show these two clowns how to bring down inflation.
