Food prices climbed sharply in December, providing little relief to consumers at the grocery store and adding to the political pressure on President Trump to improve affordability.

The 0.7 percent jump in food prices from a month earlier was the largest one-month increase in grocery prices since October 2022.

0.7 percent is hardly "sharply".

If the claim is even true, considering the source being the New York Slimes.

I dont know what they were buying but Turkey, potatoes, eggs were incredibly cheap here and milk was about the same.

Measuring expenses by the cost of high cost of steak is pretty bougie….

Not in the Aldi I go to in South Florida. It was just the opposite.

...adding to the political pressure on President Trump to improve affordability..."

Yes, President Trump could just wave his magical wand and cancel out all of the idiotic policies that the Democrats and RINOs have enacted over the last half century. Hmmm... What could be stopping him?
