EVERYONE is wrong with grocery prices. No matter the suggestions proposed here, once prices rise, they will NEVER be reduced. NEVER. Shrinkflation maybe. Instead of 16 oz. For $1, it will be 14 oz. Never have food prices, or most other consumer goods dropped in price. Anyone show me an example of when it did. Between inflation and greed, it won't happen PERIOD

That’s not always true. Egg prices are lower today than they were in early 2025. It just depends on the specific product and what caused the price to go up. But for prices overall, that’s correct. Lower inflation doesn’t mean lower prices.

I mean, it's pretty obvious that when people say "lowering prices" they mean relative to their income.

I dont think thats true. I dont think most Americans are educated enough to understand deflation and why its so dangerous
