Americans are going to be super excited over bread lines again!

Is it true that the pedo felon’s uncle at MIT coined the word “groceries” and didn’t tell anyone but him? That’s what I’ve heard. 🤡
-
On the positive side our populace is getting a vocabulary lesson by the increase in the use of the word, “grocery…”
-
this is PEANUTS compared to what its going to be in the fall and winter. People just don't want to look that far ahead.
-
People will long for the days of $10 eggs in comparison to what’s coming. Of course they will still blame Biden.
-
I used to have that job!

Roast beef was $18.99/lb at my supermarket deli. That’s almost double normal cost. We are entering the golden age!!
-
I pray that Trump has a full-on French Royal Ball in his new White House ballroom...right about July of 2028...all those rich folk eating so well...all that beef real Americans can no longer afford.

the destruction <motions hands at *everything*> will continue until morale improves

Groceries. Such a great old word. May even be the best word.
-
donnie will never understand this because he has never shopped for groceries in his pitiful life.
-
Until the avg American sees the idiocy of Trumps policies reflected in sharp economic pain, there is no hope for democracy or the rule of law in this country.

-
They finally found a gun they want to ban
-
He’ll just send letters to grocers instructing them to lower their prices by 1500%
-
That should fix it
-
Kind of fitting since he’s made the concerted effort of ICE targeting food growers. He’ll probably just suggest everyone go to McDonald’s.
-
The fact that I took this seriously for even a split second is a whole other problem.
-
I purchased yogurt, popsicles, hummus, celery, carrots, rice pilaf, and chicken. $75. Ridiculous!
-
Why not just ban groceries?
Problem solved !
-
Those people were hired under the Biden administration, Kevin. UNFAIR
-
🏆🥇
-
Prices are booming under Trump!
-
It's an outrageous imposition to put bar codes on the groceries of people who don't drink.

I can imagine supermarkets putting tiny screens below product shelfs so they can update prices every day without having to physically price anything.
-
Every item now seems to cost $5.
-
Ha!

Self Checkout Stands Sued By Trump
-
He will establish controls of the press. So everybody will report whatever Trump says. Just wait. CBS already agreed to hire a censor.
-
Nah, he's firing the person in charge of measuring growth in the cost of goods (the same person in charge of measuring unemployment)
-
Trump will remove Tariffs before the midterms, prices will come down. Trump will take credit for solving a problem he created and legions of dummy’s will believe him and vote Republicans back in. Rinse and repeat..
-
He’s counting on soup lines to save his shitty ass.

my homeowner's insurance went up 50%
my electricity costs have gone up 35%
America sucks.
-
I go "big" grocery shopping every two weeks (grab a few small things weekly) and this week alone, even though I generally buy the same things every shop, I easily paid $10 more than I did two weeks ago. Sure, some of it could be due to different items purchased, but not all of it.
-
Wish this was a joke… but grocery stores are planning to do exactly this, leaving pricing algorithms to AI.. This means less jobs, and higher prices depending on what time of the day you shop. www.marketplace.org/story/2025/0...
Digital price labels, coming soon to a grocery store near you
As electronic labels roll out in grocery stores across the U.S., consumers and lawmakers fear they could lead to surge pricing.
-
ICE agents deployed to seize complainers in the egg and dairy aisle.
-
😂
-
Either that or deport the half of adult Americans saying grocery prices are a source of stress.
-
You’re joking but what do you think those digital price tags are for?
-
Sounds like Mr. "Only I Can Fix It" is on the job...
-
Nah, he's going to tell DOJ to investigate the polling firms & demand they provide the names of respondents to the DOJ to investigate for treason. Then DOJ will transfer those data to ICE who will kidnap and deport them to El Salvador as denaturalized traitors.
-
😂
-
Yup
-
👍
-
Grocery inflation at the time of the election was running at 2.2%. It was 3.8% in June and I am willing to bet it will keep going up.
-
he's also going to write a letter to grocery stores telling them to lower prices 1400%
-
Kroger is already being investigated for not updating price tags on shelves when sales end or prices go up. www.cbsnews.com/news/krogers...
Kroger overcharges customers for items marked as being on sale, Consumer Reports finds
Expired sales labels led to overcharges on more than 150 grocery items, according to an investigation led by Consumer Reports and others.
-
That's okay because groceries is an old timey word so no one really knows what it means anyway.
-
And change the way percentages work…
-
Where I am at in western Washington, we can buy 2 dozen large brown free range organic eggs for just under 7 dollars. This is at Costco.
-
Or, he will send letters to the CEOs of P&G, Colgate, Unilever, etc and "order" them to lower their prices immediately. You know, that worked for the pharmaceutical companies. 😉
-
If we simply didn’t know this we’d all be better off…or whatever
-
But but but the price of eggs went back down…
-
"Grocery" is a beautiful word, a lot of people don't know that
-
Yes, it is for my family. Me being robbed at the grocery store yesterday ☹
-
You can't be upset about a price when you don't know what it is
-
Or the groceries
-
-
If you can't price things there's no problem.
-
groceries?!
groceries?
now, that’s a word that I’ve not heard that word in a long time…long time….
-
No - he'll just make sure that the reporters who share stories like this are fired.
-
Just shopped with my 22yo daughter. The prices are high and not to mention shrinkflation.
-
😂😂
-
It would help if he even knew what going out and buying groceries meant.
-
Trump will ban price tags just like he stopped COVID testing during his first term. If you can’t see the price increases, it never happened.
-
Just wait when he hears about Arabic Numerals. If it wasn’t for them people wouldn’t talk about prices rising.
-
We're going to reinvent Communism and Command Economies, only dumber.
-
Price tags have gone woke
-
Sweet I’ll collect unemployment thanks
-
“I declare that pricing information is NUCLEAR SECRETS and as PRESIDENT, I shall be CLASSIFYING THEM ALL.
Also, your Checking Account Balance is a NUCLEAR SECRET…”
-
Close! Watch how the price tags change next. All digital and updated daily via computer, without the comparison info.
-

-
Not gonna lie...I thought your comment was real. 😢
-
He’ll lower those grocery prices by 1000%, sometimes 800%, 500% and 300%, bigly.
-
...who are all Biden nominees
-
'memba when he and his supporters told us food prices would drop day 1, then all said "well, presidents don't control prices" ?
-
Yep I spent $250 on two bags of groceries yesterday. Fun stuff.
