"Food shoppers can finally breathe a slight sigh of relief: After years of increases followed by months of plateau, grocery prices fell last month.
Grocery prices retreated 0.2% from March to April, adjusted for seasonal swings, according to inflation data released Wednesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics."

Two tenths of a percent? Wow! Where will I spend all that extra money?

Dems need anything they can possibly spin a win for Biden, cause he's got nothing to run on except Orange Man Bad.
Expect gallons more :koolaid: to come pouring out for the next five months until election day.

CNN parroted "statistics" from BLS, whose unemployment stats are always "adjusted", usually in the direction LIEden's minions don't like. So this stat will be :adjusted" next month in the usual "unexpected" direction.

WOW I will save a whole .20 cents on a hundred dollars worth of groceries :yahoo:
Now I can book that trip to Europe :yahoo:
Those mental midgets are pathetic :thatsright: :loser: :rant:

Yeah, it really doesn't help much, unless you hit the Powerball sometime soon.

Woohoo! That 18-pack of eggs that cost me $6.90 last month will cost $6.89 this month!

I know right? Do they even know that .2% of a $10 item is 2 cents? I don't think they do. That number is made up anyway, too many variables.

At the dump any decrease even if it was .0001% it’s good news to them and a talking point :lmao: :loser:
They need to show slo jo is working hard for them :rotf:

Not in my area. Grocery prices have significantly accelerated upwards the past few months. I'd estimate 35-50% on manufactured food and 20% on produce, meats, and dairy.
Another government lie. Who you gonna believe a democrat government that has been proven to lie or your own shrinking grocery bags and higher checkout totals?

These idiots believe that inflation is falling because the percentage rate at which it's rising is "smaller". :thatsright:

So it's not that things are better, they're just marginally less bad (but dems are content to call that "better").

That's okay; remember when this country purported to live on a "budget", and any reduction of the rate of increase in the deep state's funding was always labeled as a "DRACONIAN CUT" by these mouth breathers? :panic:

Yeah, they don't get that it's like compound interest.
As to the supposed improvement, .2% is so small that it's insignificant wrt a shopping trip of more than two or three items. And it's just one month. Maybe it's a trend, maybe the rate will roar on up next month.

Yesterday I paid around $80 for four 12 packs of Coke Zero and two boxes of Carnations breakfast drinks and two boxes of Triscuits and two tubs of potato salad and two small tubs of Cole slaw and a couple of other items that fit into one of those mini grocery carts. Hardly worth it to me at that price.
