Grocery prices fell on the whole in April for the first time in 12 months, according to data released Wednesday by the Labor Department.

Riiiiight
Morning in America. Re-elect Biden. That’s the message.
If The Hill says it, it’s likely to be propaganda.
Hahahaha flagrant lies
uhhhh... What a lie!
I’ve seen things go up a couple of cents every week at Super Walmart and Piggly Wiggly.
I’m gonna start taking pictures.
And not just the FedGov. Everything the DNCMedia puts out, also.
The Hill is better known as the (DNC) Swill.
They carry the democrat water.
That’s exactly what this is. The media campaigning for the nasty old diapered guy.
They are lying.
Yep, they sure are and the gullible will eat it up.
Horsesh*t. This is propaganda from the national “media” clowns.
Go get yourself a three pound beef roast and tell me inflation is down.
Who ya gonna believe, the invoice on your grocery bill, or “the Hill”?
It’s important to realize too, the quantities are greatly reduced. What used to be a large pizza looks an awful lot like a “personal” pizza now.
Ersatz or inferior substitutes, cheaping out on ingredients. It’s no coincidence they are trying to push people to eat BUGS to “save the planet”.
We saw a similar thing in the 1970s oil shocks and dollar devaluations. Monetary inflation took off, food prices skyrocketed.
They simultaneously started moving the “Food Pyramid”. Suggesting margarine for dairy butter, Milk and Eggs were “bad for you”.
Cholesterol is a vital nutrient, especially for children, and healthy immune systems. They tried to link it with heart disease. “Low Fat” was seen as healthy - because they said so, even though it is cheap (formerly) empty Carbohydrates that are the culprit in Obesity and metabolic syndrome, and the full blown Diabetes epidemic. Carbohydrate has its place, but it will not sate hunger when the real deficit is high quality animal protein.
The only way some prices might have gone down, *slightly*, is if people started cutting back on their grocery purchases. Any small reduction in prices would be a reaction to a surplus of certain grocery products.
I heard from my sister’s BFF brothers girlfriend that egg prices are up because the chickens are charging more per egg than before.
Walmart is always a little pricey compared to HEB here in Texas. We only go to Walmart for things we can't find at HEB. That is getting to be fewer and fewer things.
It is an iron law of Economics that the ordinary course of events for prices generally, is to go down. Not up.
Nobody knows this, unless they have studied Economics, real Economics, not the phony baloney “expert economist” professional con artists shilling for the crooks.
Even the “2% targeted inflation rate” you’ll hear about is absolute robbery over time in context. Hidden theft. In 20 years they’ve stolen half of your purchasing power.
Bullshiiite
“I’ve seen things go up a couple of cents every week at Super Walmart and Piggly Wiggly.”
Are Piggly Wigglies still out there? I heard a long time ago that they were going merge with H.E. Butt and were going to be called Wiggly Butt.
This is BS. Prices might have dropped .00000000000001 %. Still effn ridiculous
WOW a whole .02% BFHD does not mean anything. More bs gov stats
