A look at consumer prices 6 months into the second Trump administration

9. Yes... when I've bought it of late (which isn't much anymore!)

It's been anywhere from $9-$10+. EVERYTHING is MUCH higher than it's been. In addition to that, the veggie section looks bleak. Some things I just can't buy any longer. Others (lots) look pretty ragged. I've needed green bell peppers, but passed on them because they were so shriveled and old, splotched with black spots. I blame a lot of it on tariffs, also on on trumps kicking out all the farm workers... but I also think we've got a lot of greedflation happening, too. There are some speciality things (like spices, etc) that I just can't get at the stores any longer, so I buy it online and hope it doesn't take too long. I just did that last night with a special chili seasoning mix I love... I use it in a lot more than just chili. Although the maker is probably about an hour away from where I'm living, I can't drive there anymore. And I use that spice in SO much of what I cook. So, I ate the cost of shipping and ordered it straight from them.
