Crackers (which I don’t really buy, but noticed) are $6/box. Bread is $8/loaf. Eggs are $12 for a dozen. We pay $8-$9 for half a gallon of organic milk.

Where are you seeing these prices????? I pay $4 a loaf for my fancy bread loaf and I bought 30 eggs for 3.99 today (regular price) and I typically buy the 18 pack from target for 2.50ish.

Also curious to see where that poster is shopping. I paid almost $9 for a gallon for organic milk at Safeway. Not half gallon.

And I paid 3.79 for 1% milk at Giant (gallon). Who is forcing you to drink organic milk?

I was cost comparing. Not complaining. Are you ok?

Two years ago, the chips were $6, and the carrots and radishes were routinely $0.99.

What the hell is actually going on? Where is the money going?

Things were not as cheap as you recall during the biden administration. In fact, the inflation 2 years ago was hortible and one of the reasons why trump was elected.

It was a lot better than this. Trump made promises he failed to keep.

Prices were lower but the inflation rate is why we have the prices today.

And the inflation rate is because of…?

I was at food lion in Maryland this weekend and the large bag of Stacy’s Pita chips was over $9.

It’s the price of diesel. All food delivered to a grocery store comes via trucks on diesel.

It's unpopular to say but the huge federal giveaway during COVID that kept everyone at home.

$3.99 for 30 organic eggs?? Where are YOU shopping?

Trader Joe’s sells a dozen of organic eggs for $6, and that’s the cheapest I have found. The prices I quoted are at Whole Foods, where I’ve been shopping for nearly two decades. The prices are fairly typical of major grocery chains where I live (Safeway etc). The prices have skyrocketed.

Perhaps grocery stores are setting prices based on locations. Some of these prices are dirt cheap, no wonder posters are confused.

Of course it’s optional, but the fact remains that-= costs are still high. Is it OK that we have to cut back because things are optional? Why didn’t MAGA cut back and not complain during the Biden administration because everything is optional?

Good God. It'a a piece of data. A common man's metric. We aren't talking about the price of jet fuel or what private pilots charge. It's a case of beer from a company that sold 250 MILLION cases of beer last year.

Aldi has Pita Chips for about $3 and they are good. I buy all my snacks at Aldi - so much cheaper than anywhere.

Not organic. Organic is a choice. You are always going to pay more for it. and just for comparison if you want to go on and on about health and then talk about the price of chips and beer-i’m sure you know how that looks.

Normal 18 pack of non-organic eggs is 2.19 at Target by me in MD-I just checked the app to be absolutely sure before I commented.

The 3.99 30 pack came from food lion via instacart (In MD) just today. non organic.

They don’t care about grocery prices, they don’t care about gas prices, they don’t care that he started a war, they don’t care that he’s a pedophile.

Your complaining is not gonna fix anything.
