Grocery prices plunge as inflation hits four-year low

Grocery prices fell by the largest margin in nearly five years, while egg prices plunged 12.7%—the steepest one-month drop since 1984. Gas prices fell for a third consecutive month, contributing to broader declines in energy and transportation costs. Real wages are up 1.9% year-over-year, with steady growth over the last three months giving workers more buying power. The Consumer Price Index report for April, released Tuesday, shows inflation easing to a four-year low—the strongest evidence yet that President Trump’s economic policies are reversing years of price pressure on American families. “Inflation has fallen to the lowest level in more than four years as April’s Consumer Price Index smashes expectations for the third straight month in President Donald J. Trump’s Golden Age,” the White House said in a statement. -- Airfare, hotel rates, used vehicles, and energy costs all declined compared to a year ago. -- https://mxmnews.com/article/1e92716d-3dc9-4738-8978-ca6d3a933b7e?grocery-prices-plunge-as-inflation-hits-four-year-low

       Lying Lewis can't stand the truth.--In April, grocery prices experienced their biggest decline in nearly five years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This marks the first time grocery prices have fallen since September 2020. Specifically, the grocery index decreased by 0.4% from March to April. This drop was partly due to a significant decrease in egg prices, which fell by 12.7% --

I'll go with #1.  Hard for Kevin to admit this.  He has been predicting mass inflation for months now......

 

 

Lots of stuff went down in price - 

 

-We're on the other side of Bird FLu.

-Oil went down with OPEC production increases and anticipation of a recession.....its now creeping back up after Trump rescinded his China tariffs.

 

Those are good things.     We havent seen tariff prices hit consumers yet.   We're still blowing through inventory retailers stocked up on prior to that executive order.   Memorial Day is the expected time when merchandise will start being post-tariff.    At that point we can start to see how much is eaten by importers vs passed onto consumers.    

 

In any event - I'm happy to see the recovery in the stock market.    Good things happen when Trump pulls back on stupid shit he puts in place.

     Lewis has been outed as the liar he is and has demonstrated to be the past 8+ years. He has no credability and the only ones buying his constant lies are the same morons who post here and have also been proven to be liars. Everyone of these morons voted DemocRatic and voted for brain dead Biden. America has suffered the past 4 years from the corrupt DemocRats - now these cretins take every opportunity to bash President Trump as he proceeds to correct the evils that these anti-America traitors have foisted on America.
