1. That’s PPI not CPI 2. I go to the store and I pay attention to the prices of what I buy.

and for the sake of transparency - the trajectory is about the same since 2023 when inflation rates started to go down. so I won’t say Trump is the main driver of grocery inflation. but don’t gaslight me and tell me groceries are less expensive lmao
