I'm not trying to let Trump off the hook. He did say he'd bring down the price of eggs.
But I haven't really seen big increases in prices. Today I stopped in a Starbucks in Gresham OR. I got a 12 oz cup of coffee and a biscotti for $4.60 and they give you a free refill. That's a good deal.
A couple weeks ago, we bought chicken breasts for $2.60/lb. Generic cereal is still $2.00/box. Peanut butter is still around $2.50 for 16 oz. Half gallon milk is around $2.20. 2 lb cheese is $6.48. All these prices in the Portland metro area.
No law says you have to buy eggs or beef. No one says you have to buy brand names. No on says you have to spend $200/mo on cable, Internet and streaming. We use our phone for Internet and a $50 antenna to get over the air TV.
And we're supposed to get a 2.8% Social Security raise. I can't complain.
