Gas? As in gasoline?? ...has been pretty stable here in the mid-south USA, recently.
OTOH, items such as canned green beans, a staple for me, have gone through the roof.
Many thanks for the proclamations but would The Economic Collapse Blog say anything different?
I’m sure there is no bias in a blog titled “The Economic Collapse Blog.” Haha

Wholesale vs. Retail Prices
• The Producer Price Index (PPI) for vegetables soared 38.9% from June to July 2025—an unprecedented spike for that period  .
• Despite this, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for fruits and vegetables was unchanged from June to July 2025, and remains up only 0.2% over the past 12 months
>> Do you feel knots in your stomach due to financial stress?
No.
I grow my own vegetables, as much as possible.
I’ve always been mellow about it, often letting weeds and pests have their way with it, but plan on getting more diligent with it. I’m slowly transitioning from flat garden rows to raised beds. Watering is an issue, but I am experimenting with drip hoses.
I have a lot of seeds, which have also gone up in price steeply, but if stored well, can last several seasons, depending on type.
I’ve been planting store bought potatoes when they grow eyes, both Irish and sweet, with very good, abundant results, enough to eat and save some for replanting.
I am drowning in cukes and zucchini this year and tomatoes are doing pretty good too.
...we don’t drink coffee!
And the sole reason is because the MSM in their bid to destroy President Trump, is pushing fear porn and lying to us about the statistics.
Just like they gaslit us under biden that the economy was great.
Anybody remember when a can of tomato soup was 10 cents?
...predicted the last 29 of the 4 recessions.
,,, for some time our household has been stocking up on extra cans, rice and other non-perishables, buying extra each time we shop. It’s better than money in the bank.
It all has to be timed to have the economy crater during October 2026, to ensure the rise of House Speaker Hakeem “Don’t I look like Obama?” Jeffries.
What does not kill me ...
I am loving this price inflation at grocery store. Yes I am of glass half full type.
Now I am more selective in buying only healthy foods. Hardly ever buy cakes & pies. Instead of potatoes I buy sweet potatoes. They are loaded with vitamin A and more fiber than potatoes.
Result of eating healthy is I have shed many pounds and my A1C is dropping. So is blood pressure. This is going to save me hospital & doctor & prescription bills in future.
Prices will go as energy cost go. It’s that simple. If Trump truly is tapping into our energy prowess as he claims, then prices will drop. Not complicated.
That article is crap. The prices here in southeast PA. have stabilized and are on a slow downward trend. Even in our purple state the prices are down, except in Philthy and Sh!tsburg.
Supply and demand. Millions of illegals on the dole put upward pressure on goods, utilities, water, schools, etc.
Not to worry, ceo Larry Fink of Blackrock which invests in utilities and buys up 10’s of thousands of homes at higher prices and in bulk to rent is now the head of the WEF.
He is one of those that have caused the prices to rise as his company makes money selling investments so the utilities go up in price and home prices are much higher as there are not enough to go around due to restrictions on building homes (probably by him paying off politicians) and illegals occupying millions of homes.
He will lower prices.... yeah sure...
