Bought three days of food on Sunday for $80. Four boxes of ready rice, two chicken breasts, two Italian sausages, one steak, french beans, brussel sprouts, and some asparagus. They can eat my ass with this cheap grocery narrative.

If Trump says the sun's shining, there's probably an eclipse.

The people claiming prices are the same or lower either are lying or their butlers are picking up the groceries.

I operate on a beans and rice budget; shit like an 6 ounce can of tomato past went from $0.60 to $1.00. Same sorts of price increases go for rice, beans, garbonzos and other canned/dry non perishables. Flour has gone up. Sugar has gone up. Don't even get me started on the price of meat. Produce has gone up, A bulb of garlic cost $1.00 now, and where it used to be 30-50 cents. Green onions $1.50 when they used to be $1.00. Seeing similar price rises in cilantro, fresh corn, cucumbers, potatos, onions. I started making stuff from scratch to save money . . . aaaannnnd it's gone.

It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. - George Orwell, 1984

Do we buy it? We can't afford to buy a god damn thing!

do Americans buy it?

Well, they're not buying groceries.

A year ago I wondered what all the fuss about raising grocery prices was all about this year I know.

I work in a grocery store, I can tell you straight up that the orange bitch is lying.

We've always been at was with Eastasia.

He’s never stepped foot in a grocery store in his life. Facist old pig.

Quick check of the community forums and you've got at least 50% of people either denying prices are too damn high or they're justifying it with "Buh my Trump!".

I love that this easily quantifiable metric is so split along partisan lines.

This dipshit believes anything anyone tells him. And the only people telling him things, are the sycophants he surrounds himself with. Of course he thinks everything he's doing is making everything better. They're all afraid to tell him anything else.

Bold faced, obvious lie.

19% of respondents think groceries are now easier to afford.

These are the people who love the emperor's new clothes.

I always believe what someone who has never even been inside of a grocery store their entire life has to say about grocery prices!

To believe it would be to deny reality. Can someone please tell republicans that you can’t just say thing’s to make it true.

Bully pulpit power is real. This guy can fart and make his followers thank they did it. There are some serious flaws in human psychology and if you are enough of a dick to want to hack them, you can go far at the exeof others.

So they polled people on subjective opinions instead of looking at the data? Wtf kind of reporting is this?

Americans can't afford to buy shit, not even the literal kind. That's rather the point.

Before Trump and COVID, soda was maybe $5.99 for a 12-pack. It's $9.99 now. That's a simple gauge

war is peace, austerity is properity, up is down.

Americans probably can't even afford his lies.
