gas prices are down sure
and I fill my gas tank what. Twice a month? so 36 gallons. and where I am gas is down to $2.80 from $3.00
wow, im saving a whole $7.20 a month!
now compare that to how much groceries have gone up.
hmm.
maybe I fill my tank three times. a clean eleven dollars ?
anyway the price hike of fucking Folgers coffee alone more than makes up for that

1. That’s PPI not CPI
2. I go to the store and I pay attention to the prices of what I buy.

anyway. here’s CPI - the numbers that actually reflect what the American people pay

and for the sake of transparency - the trajectory is about the same since 2023 when inflation rates started to go down. so I won’t say Trump is the main driver of grocery inflation. but don’t gaslight me and tell me groceries are less expensive lmao
