Fact check: Grocery prices are up, not ‘way down’ as Trump claimed

Newly released inflation figures show that President Donald Trump was wrong when he repeatedly claimed this month that grocery prices?are “down” or “way down.”

They were up, again, last month. And they have increased since the start of his presidency.

Average grocery prices rose 0.3% from August to September, according to? Consumer Price Index figures?released Friday. That increase followed a 0.6% jump from July to August, which was the biggest month-to-month jump? in three years.

Average grocery prices in September were about 2.7% higher than they were a year prior and about 1.4% higher than they were in January, the month Trump returned to office.

The grocery price increases have been broad, spanning the vast majority of product categories tracked by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Prices in four of the six major grocery categories increased from August to September. The cereals and bakery products category was up 0.7%; the nonalcoholic beverages category was also up 0.7%; the meats, poultry, fish and eggs category was up 0.3%; the “other food at home” category was up 0.5%. The fruits and vegetables category was unchanged, while the dairy and related products category was down 0.5%.

Prices in all six categories have increased over the past year. Since September 2024, the nonalcoholic beverages category was up 5.3%; the meats, poultry, fish, and eggs category was up 5.2%; the “other food at home” category was up 1.9%; the cereals and bakery products category was up 1.6%; the fruits and vegetables category was up 1.3%; and the dairy and related products category was up 0.7%.

There have been particularly sharp increases since September 2024 in the prices of coffee (up 18.9%) and beef and veal (up 14.7%). Overall consumer prices are up 3.0% since September 2024.

Your life and economic standing is 200-300% higher under Trump? How did you manage that? The S&P is up 12%, the dollar is down 7.5%, cryptocurrencies are up about 8%, inflation is unchanged, Consumer Confidence is down a whopping 45%, GDP is no higher than under Biden, and the Labor Market is unchanged. You've done very well, considering the lackluster economy. What's your secret? Tell your fellow investors how you did it!
