President Donald J. Trump’s bold economic agenda is delivering real results for American families — with new data from DoorDash’s State of Local Commerce report confirming that inflation has been tamed, everyday prices are beginning to drop, and wages are growing.

From breakfast tables to store shelves, President Trump’s agenda is lowering costs when families need it the most — fueling an economic comeback that is only just beginning as President Trump works to Make America Affordable Again.

Here are the main takeaways:

President Trump has tamed inflation.

• The Breakfast Basics Index — which measures the price of three eggs, a glass of milk, a bagel, and an avocado — decreased 14% between March and September and 1.7% over the past year.

• The Everyday Essentials Index — which measures the price of toothpaste, shampoo, toilet paper, laundry detergent, pain medicine, and diapers — fell over the past year.

Americans are beginning to see price declines.

• Over the past year, prices actually declined for cheese, cereals & bars, fresh fruits, frozen meals, packaged meals, condiments, batteries, computers & accessories, phones & accessories, medicines, oral care, vitamins & supplements, outdoor products, and toys & games.

President Trump’s policies are fueling wage growth.

• Nationally, wage growth is outpacing restaurant price increases — including at the city level in half of the cities studied.

Local economies are resilient.

• 56% of consumers say they’ve seen fewer businesses close in their communities over the past year.

• Overall food spend has increased by nearly 5% over last year — faster than prices have risen, suggesting “consumers are buying more from businesses in their communities.”

Well that “Truth” has been stretched a good bit..stretched a whole lot, stretched to paper thin....

Eggs were $1.97/doz this week....

No steak...but lotsa meat loaf and meatloaf sandwiches, meatballs and burgers.

[ConservativeMind]

Egg prices definitely came down, since the election.

We have about 8-10 months for this to start being tangible.

[Kazan]

We've got to see significantly more progress made by the summer or the mid-terms will be disaster.

I dunno. 12 oz. of bacon is $5 with a digital coupon. It used to be 16 oz. Today it’s $2.97 at Safeway for deli ham-8 0z.-coupon. Tomorrow it goes back up to $5.49. Tomorrow Land ‘O’ Lakes butter goes down to $3.49 from $7.99 today. I’m going to buy 4 of them to last. 2 trips in 2 days-good walking. Haven’t bought extra since the Jimmy Carter days.

The left can point to ‘prices going up’ while we say eggs are lower. It’s feelings. Which feelings are more powerful?

This woman helped.

You remind me of idiots whining in 1983.

I’ve been unemployed for a year. Every person who has given me a technical interview is a first generation Indian import. (Can tell by accent.)

I’m sure all the Indians are enjoying wage growth.

Meanwhile, Trump eagerly wants to import 600,000 Chinese.

Screw Donald J. Trump.

Everything is far above four years ago, still.

The total inflation rate was over 20%, during Biden.

[9YearLurker]

The breakfast of absolutely nobody. And notice how they track 6 months, not 9 or 10 months.

[dpetty121263]

LOL that is rich considering you are Hillary Clinton’s love child...

[Timber Rattler]

Gaslighting, no better than what Biden was doing.

[know.your.why]

Kroger?

[Fledermaus]

Whoa, what a witty retort. I’m devastated.

Beats being as economically clueless as Kamala.

[TexasFreeper2009]

which is why they used the qualifier “breakfast” I am certain

[who knows what evil?]

Avocado? I have NEVER eaten an avocado in my life.

“12 oz. of bacon...used to be 16 oz.:

Yes, “shrinkflation” is wonderful, isn’t it?

At least it’s hard for them to shrinkflate a dozen eggs!
