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

[slightlv]

15. I just got back from the grocery. $90 for 2 days of meals.

They did have some locally grown heirloom tomatoes, and I bought two (since I can't seem to catch our Farmer's Market when they're open). That led to a loaf of bread, a head of lettuce (which really had to be looked through... the selection was really bad), and a package of bacon. The bacon is microwavable -- 10-14 strips -- can't they can't when packing? BLT's for lunch for the next couple of days. The bacon was $9.45. So... eggs may have come down a bit, but the bacon has definitely raised in price! I will enjoy this BLT, tho!

I need to comparative price the fake meat like burger crumbles and bacon(?)... I'd rather switch over to it completely, but I'm almost afraid to see how much they cost. And an hour at the store on those cement floors just kills my back... so I'm home now, sitting after taking a pain pill, trying to get myself together enough to start cleaning the house a bit.
