As 90% of Americans say grocery prices are a major source of stress, the nation's top grocery chains have said they're passing the cost of Trump's tariffs onto consumers, according to a new report.
Since my last grocery trip:
beef is at record highs, worse than the pandemic.
Egg beaters (100% inflation in 11 months) and Hot Pockets (50% inflation, same time period) are at record prices
BJ’s bottled water went up from $3.50 to $4, first increase I’ve seen
Soda products are are almost record highs, around $8.75 ish. Record high was when diesel was super high, and was $9.50. now, 15 years ago, same store, it was regularly $2.
an average loaf of bread is almost at $4.- 15 years ago it was breaking $1.
In the US, Bread has been almost completely monopolized by BIMBO, which slashed all the low priced items on their buyouts with the expensive brands. Now the prices are higher, even though they promised in their merger records that they wouldn’t increase prices or remove Lowe brands.
And soda’s a non-food item. I haven’t had any carbonated liquid candy for decades, and as a result, my quality of life is better than it was when I drank that useless crap.

Seems nobody wants to enforce the laws anymore.
That’s what happens when you elect a billionaire felon.
But even local brands and store brands are similar.
Bottled water went up? Surely that’s just opportunistic
Why buy it at all? It’s a con.

Sure it’s a con, I’m just always surprised at how blatant everyone is now.
BJ’s house brand. I assume it has mostly to do with the price of diesel. Coka Cola prices vary with diesel prices.
