A $100 grocery haul in 2019 costs almost $140 today — nearly 40 percent more for the same common items, causing consumers to “become creative to cope” with crippling inflation.
According to a Wall Street Journal analysis of NielsenIQ data on the prices of everyday foods such as meat, vegetables, starches, and snacks, Americans are facing a dramatic increase across all categories.
“A Benjamin just isn’t what it used to be,” the Journal’s Stephanie Stamm and Jesse Newman wrote, alongside graphs showing that the average $100 grocery list now costs 36.5 percent more compared to five years ago.
This means that in order to spend the same amount on food as they did in 2019, shoppers would have to place almost $37 worth of items back on the shelves before checking out.
Some items have increased even more dramatically, such as eggs, at 63 percent higher, and sports drinks, which are up 80 percent.
Thanks to senile Biden and all democrats
Thanks all you obiden voters, you should be proud !!!!
And Biden says everything is getting better.
It is getting better………..for HIM and the rest of the Obiden mob.
COVID really put a hurt on everyone, everwhere. Thankfully, the post-covid inflation situation had been managed better here in the US than anywhere else and it looks like we’re heading for a soft landing thanks to the smart management of the Fed in conjunction with the Congress and the President.
