Just did an online grocery deliver order for later today. I wasn't thinking "New Golden Era"

Minus the driver tip, the order was 73 bucks. We did get a number of items but as I looked through the cart I KNEW that it wasn't "SEVENTY THREE DOLLARS WORTH OF FOOD AND STAPLES."

Or, I guess more accurately, "THESE GROCERIES WOULDN'T HAVE COST ME 73 BUCKS A YEAR AGO."

And I am one of millions of Americans who is going through this SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, so...how the **** is Trump STILL getting away with his LIES about "Affordabilty?"

And yeah, I know, more people are challenging it daily, but it hasn't slowed down the lies.

Get your ass of the sofa and go to the store and get your food. Delivery fees and tip alone..

Minus the driver tip, the order was 73 bucks.

With the driver tip it was 73.50.

Since the Dummies didn't give the ballpark cost from a year ago, when the chicken cull was skyrocketing chicken and egg prices, the post is a sack full of Hate-Trump

12. I like to cook a small roast for New Year's Eve, and about this time of year

I start pricing them out. I saw one at Safeway a couple of weeks ago, maybe 3 pounds, that was $100. I knew beef had gone up, but that was shocking.

I got ribeye steaks last night, yes, they were on package special not almost expiration day special, for $9.99 a pound, marked down from $19.99.  Even at the full price, what kind of organic waygu roast was this crackhead getting charged $30 a pound for?  Sounds like a very different part of the cow to me....

8. There's a typical Albertsons shopping pickup order we make every other Friday morning.

It was $42 last year this time according to the receipt, last Friday it was $67. Inflation is definitely not down.

Pics or it didn't happen.

and in that mindset...

Here is a shot from the real world:

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.  According to the most recent USDA Agricultural Marketing Service data, the average per-pound feature price for whole frozen turkeys declined further during the second week of November.

My emphasis.

So, contrary to Miles Archer's unsupported claim, grocery prices for a meal have declined ~5% compared to 2024, when LIEden was still POTUS. And wrt 2022 when the price of this meal was highest, remind me, who was POTUS in 2022? And in more than 11 months of 2021, when prices were increasing "dramatic(ally)"?

WRT the price for turkeys, I bought a frozen turkey a week or so ago at Lucky (a regional grocery chain) for $0.57/lb. The AFBF article mentions the trend of stores lowering turkey prices soon after November 1st, which is when the AFBF did their pricing.

"AFBF" is an acronym for American Farm Bureau Federation, yet another reason for DU-folk to continue hating farmers.

ETA: Looking at my local Lucky store's flyer, https://luckysupermarkets.com/stores/757/flyers?flyerId=b9ff412f-8972-355d-9861-5cff7947fca6 :

* Their price for a fresh turkey is $0.87/lb. and $0.35/lb. for a frozen turkey;

* $2.27/lb. for a Cook's spiral-sliced half ham, and BOGO for an unsliced Cook's shank or butt half ham;

* A store bakery apple or pumpkin pie is $6;

* Combined with the prices of green beans, garnet yams, and other stuff, a Thanksgiving dinner plus leftovers for us would be $30.36.

20# frozen turkey - $7.00
5# of Yukon Gold - $1.98
2# of green beans - $0.98
5# of garnet yams - $2.45
2 cans of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce - $5.00
Applesauce made from 5# of Gala apples - 9.95
$3.00 for butter and brown sugar

* Beef ribeye roast is $12.99/lb.

That was like shooting fish in a 5-gallon bucket with a double-barrel shotgun, very unsporting, .
