Absolutely... when I was a poor student, I would often opt for what I called the $1.00 special when my mates were buying Coke at venue prices (video arcade).
$1.00 would buy a cold can of Coke & a full sized Mars chocolate bar at the Supermarket 😁
Oh, I forgot to mention a pack of Ramen noodles was 79 cents!!! That's crazy. They were like 12 cents before covid.
I look at the recent historical line as pre-covid/post covid, not Trump vs Biden. Fact is when the global economy was forced into a coma, trillions of $ were pumped into the economy and supplies became unstable it created conditions we deal with today. Be it Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dum in the WhiteHouse much of the situation would have occurred.

Some supermarket chains are fighting PepsiCo to reduce prices
apple.news
A supermarket chain pulled PepsiCo products over ‘shrinkflation’—now its biggest rival says Pepsi, Cheetos and Doritos are going nowhere — FORTUNE
E.Leclerc's chairman said he wouldn't follow Carrefour's "show of strength" by banning Cheetos and Doritos from his stores.

Sorry raggie, horribly exhausted from work over the weekend.
Currently speaking, at the nearest supermarket out by me:
Gallon of milk ~ $4.63
Pound of ground beef ~ $4.91 (and steadily going up).
Two loafs of bread ~ $5.98
Almost cheaper to hunt down people to cannibalize for meat. But I'm stuck in NYC, so most of them are going to be Vegan. I bet they taste like cardboard and tofu.

I don't know how people are managing with the insane cost increases, not to mention everyone want's a tip for every interaction no matter how trivial.
At least my property taxes went down 39% this year thanks to the state legislature passing the homeowner's tax relief program.

Same with me and my parents. Came here legally. Went through all the Red tape. It felt like half a lifetime before I raised my right hand and was sworn in as a U.S. citizen. My family has enough respect for this country to enter the right damn way!

Same with my grandparents on my mother's side, and great grandparents on my father's side. I think both had to be screened for diseases at Ellis Island as well before they could even set foot on the mainland.
From what I've read people are purchasing food using their credit cards. Credit card debt is at an all-time high. That's not managing the insane cost increases, that's adding cost in the form of interest.
I'm glad to read such news. 👍

any folks here recall prices ever going back down in foods? becuase dang come on enough is enough . should never cost so much just to eat. im happy if atleast chicekn thighs and and other foods droped in price
Our way it ebbs and flows. Example recently was a pack of 9 boneless thighs was $18!!! Yet before Christmas it was $6. On the reverse, eggs had been as much as $6/dozen for large in the summer. They stay at about $1.25 to 1.75 now.
I see beef and pork rising and falling as well. I'd say a 12oz ribeye for $3.99 days are gone but at time they're down to about $6.99. I wait until they reduce the price because they're about to go out of date. Aged beef for much less? Pffft, win win baby.

Retail giant removes Pepsi and Lay's from its stores for being too expensive
Carrefour, who is one of France's biggest supermarket chains, is planning to axe PepsiCo items from its stores, a decision that was made after prices became too costly.
Beloved products such as Pepsi, Lay's, Gatorade, Quaker, Cheetos and other brands owned by the parent company will no longer be placed on the shelves.

Prices on food and gasoline always come down a bit, but never to the point they originally were. Unfortunately, politics does play into food prices as money mismanagement by elected officials causes inflation. Directly leading to our Dollar being able to purchase less than it did years before.

A lot has to do with nature, and how things go on the farm or ranch.
For example, remember the epidemic that took out a large number of chickens recently? Egg prices and chicken meat went crazy, some restaurants had to drop chicken from their menus.
Beef prices can fluctuate depending on feed prices, which fluctuate depending on the weather. If the pastures get good rain, then there is plenty of hay to feed cattle through the winter, and sales to market are moderate. If the weather is dry, and hay is lacking, some ranchers can't afford to buy feed to get their cattle through the winter, so they sell off a lot. This can cause an increase of beef on the market, and lower the price to the consumer. The thing that drives me crazy is the price of beef jerky--what is up with that?! If you figure out the price per pound for beef jerky, it is unreal.

Pigly wiggly has chicken quarters for 70 a pound .its lot of work when I buy them since it comes in 10 pound bag. So I must separate thighs from drum sticks then vacuum pack them all. But I'll have food ready to go. Hect even a can of tuna now is 1 buck and after you remove water I'd bet it weight 4 ounces
