TRENTON, NJ – Inflation is being reigned in and food prices are coming down. That’s what we’re told each time the Biden administration talks about food prices here in New Jersey, but if you’ve been food shopping in the past few weeks in New Jersey, you know this is not true.
Over the past few weeks, the prices of eggs, meat, milk, and other essentials skyrocketed once again and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.

The Ministry of Plenty says you have surplus food!.................

Just went to an Amish Market in Jersey. A dozen donuts are selling at $18.75
The donuts are made at the bakery there, but the ingredients have to be shipped in

“If you bought it a truck brought it”
That’s crazy - guess which part of the donut is the most nutritious? (The hole)
Columbus? Love that place. The Amish actually care about quality in everything they sell.
cant they just drive their Teslas to Arkansas to go grocery shopping?
Can’t be illegals with hundreds if not thousands of dollars to spend on Gov. issued debit cards buying up staples. Or could it?
No, Williamstown Farmers Market. They have a bakery, confectionary store, pretzel shop, several meat markets. We get our fresh turkeys from them every Thanksgiving, another stall focuses on sausages. Usually get there once a week just for their fresh mi!k.
It’s a feature not a bug.
And yes once again Biden wilL win NY. How many times can you kill yourself NY
