When anything good happens during Trump's term, you can be sure they'll claim it's the resurgence of the "Biden economy".

Yeah prices are so bad here for gas it went from around $2.96/Gal down to $2.45 yesterday. Oh the horror. What ever shall I do to keep gas in my car. Stupid drunk. It might be harder to live in the rat hole the DUmmy is in but not so much here.

Gas prices nationwide have plunged to their lowest level in over four years, according to data from the Dallas-based fuel savings platform GasBuddy, with a gallon of regular gas at the pump costing drivers an average of $2.897.

"According to GasBuddy data, the national average has just slipped below $2.90 per gallon for the first time since May 2, 2021," Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, wrote on X on Sunday.

"At the current level of $2.897/gal (according to GasBuddy), the national average price of gasoline is at its lowest level in 1,680 days," he added.

Cost of Thanksgiving Dinner Declines

https://www.fb.org/news-release/cost-of-thanksgiving-dinner-declines

Cooking a Thanksgiving dinner for your friends and family will cost less than last year, marking the third straight year of price declines. The American Farm Bureau Federation’s 40th annual Thanksgiving dinner survey provides a snapshot of the average cost of Thanksgiving staples that make up a classic holiday feast for 10, which is $55.18 or about $5.52 per person.

This is a 5% decrease from 2024. Three years of declines don’t fully erase dramatic increases that led to a record-high cost of $64.05 in 2022.

The centerpiece on most Thanksgiving tables – the turkey – dramatically decreased in price, which helped bring down the overall cost of dinner. The average price for a 16-pound frozen turkey is $21.50. That is $1.34 per pound, down more than 16% from last year. While the wholesale price for fresh turkey is up from 2024, grocery stores are featuring Thanksgiving deals and attempting to draw consumer demand back to turkey, leading to lower retail prices for a holiday bird.

Farm Bureau volunteer shoppers checked prices the first week of November. Grocery stores often feature whole turkeys at even lower prices in the days leading up to Thanksgiving. ...

WRT that last sentence, I bought our turkey 2 weeks later that AFBF's price check, so I paid $0.57/lb. instead of $1.34/lb., a difference greater than $15 for the ~20 lb. turkey we bought.

Being terminally curious and because our purchase, pre-Covid, of the Rustler brand jeans I'm wearing was from Amazon, I checked the price for the same jeans. Pre-Covid, the price was $16 a pair; the current price, at Amazon and Walmart is $16.

I can't price-compare "practically everything", but food and gas are a pretty big chunk of a household's budget. mal's claim, Prices are up on almost everything, is stupidly false.
