[I got the rope]

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

Me either. They are lying by cherry picking some products they’ve probably browbeaten the manufacturers/retailers to lower. The best that I’ve seen is that some manufacturers have held the prices firm, but decreased the amount of product, etc. The government is outright lying here.

[Gaffer]

Yet you’ll hear this droned on and reported on repeatedly the next week on drive time leftist radio. They’ve even got Clark Howard repeating this sh!t.

POOR?!?

A pizza, soft drinks for two and a tip cost me $41.38 last Friday!

[Elsie]

You’re lucky.

I usually get to be a BEFORE picture.

[Phoenix8]

Not surprised. What area of the country are you in?

Just left Costco and everything seemed to be ~$1.00 more.

Good to know-does it include non-packaged, fresh and organic items? I don’t buy/eat any processed food items like pasta, bread, flour, white rice, deli items, etc-I do buy yogurt and butter...

[Texan5]

“Where?” In the Lala land where dems live-they have no practical knowkedge of what goes on in the real world the rest of live and work in...

Yes, some items are. You can see what in-house brands are considered HEB by going to the website.

Grocery prices went down. I feel better knowing that. 🙄

[Texan5]

I like that-people in some cities made a big deal out of doing that in the 80’s-don’t know why they quit. Out here, almost all of us grow some of our own food, and many keep livestock. I’d like to see the townies grow something to eat so they can see what goes into food production...

[Varsity Flight]

Nobodys buying, nor buying this propaganda either.

[CommieCutter]

Yeah. Did it go down 1% from the 30% it’s went up over the past two years?

Yes, and the Biden cabal probably made reporting of the most volatile/fluctuating prices optional like it did with crime stats. The worst cities declined to report, leading to an overall lower rate.

Under Biden, I like to say it’s now Nicklecost.
