from when Biden left office and Trump took over. Not what happened in the middle, what happened when he left.
Otherwise you are saying that Trump just maintaining where Biden was at the end of his term is perfectly fine. You must have been feeling great. And if it's going up from where Biden left us, you can't possibly say that is a good thing.
While there might be some individual food items with slightly lower prices, overall, grocery costs have continued to rise. Some reports even indicate that Americans are feeling increased concern about grocery prices and are changing their shopping habits due to the higher costs.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Overall Increase:
While food inflation has slowed down, prices are still significantly higher than they were before the election.
Individual Items:
Some specific items like certain produce (lettuce, tomatoes) or staples (rice, pasta) might have seen price drops recently, but this doesn't represent a broad trend.
Consumer Perception:
Many consumers are still feeling the impact of high prices and are concerned about the cost of groceries, even if the rate of increase is lower than it was previously.
Trump's Policies:
President Trump's policies, including potential tariffs, could also influence future grocery prices, and experts predict potential increases in certain imported food items.
