Yeah, I have no idea what kind of wizard math his wife is doing, but I also do the grocery shopping in my household and at best, it's flat since Jan.

Cross-posting this from /pol because I believe it has bearing on this thread. Trump believes in his heart this is the path forward and this time he is ignoring all the noises. He no longer cares about bad press or making people happy. He is in it to win it.

There’s the wizard math I’m talking about, that’s the month, 3 adults and a small child, I take care of my father, we ate out a handful of times due to my work schedule.
If you want I can show you October and September since I don’t think November and December with Thanksgiving and Chris would be fair.

I did end up buying a bunch of stuff on Friday, although I am focusing on Euro stocks because I'm not willing to take on the currency risk on dollar denominated stocks just yet. If the plan is to devalue the dollar (which plays into the plan to boost US domestic production/exports) then every 1% it loses vs the Euro is that much extra loss for me.
Lot of Euro stuff dropped just as much as the S&P stuff did, even things that have very little direct exposure to US/EUR reciprocal tariffs.

I moved my 401k to a stable value fund after the announcement, we'll see if this is just a short term Trump negotiation tactic or a long term policy. Quite a big market dip regardless.
Ok. But it doesn't mean the price of things have gone down, just the amount of your bill. I save an average of around 25-30% per trip by using coupons, buying generics, buying meat when it's on sale etc. It's great that your wife is killing it shopping for the family. It's hard to keep totals down.
But that doesn't mean that groceries have deflated anytime recently.
Here's are some examples from the BLS. The data is only through February since they're still calculating March:
BLS Data Viewer - Eggs
BLS Data Viewer - Milk
BLS Data Viewer - Ground beef
BLS Data Viewer - Chicken
BLS Data Viewer - Tomatoes
Here's a consolidated view:
If you look, nothing has gone down in any meaningful way over the last few months. Overall fruits and vegetables have gone down a little bit, but nothing like you're saying.

Trump literally "retruthed" a tweet indicating he is intentionally crashing the market. That was the "constructive comment" we got this weekend. I'm not sure even inverse Cramer is saving us this time.
