And the drought across the Midwest is going to affect prices on crops and livestock.

But yeah this is the way Repukes think.

That is sort of sexist, isn't it, that only women care about the price of food, since they do the cooking.

The prices listed are pretty much incorrect, but hey, they are on a roll.............

is much, much lower .

I was shocked that Coffee was that much. Maybe for 3x that size!!

eom

so it has to be cheaper at a real grocery store

I wish it was that cheap!

Poor republicans just don't know who's ripping them off.

what a brilliant marketing genius... burning food crops as fuel.

I think people who shop around would know those prices are BOGUS. Unless you started doing all your grocery shopping at a convenience store!

It was definitely a bogus comparison.

Also, only Columbian coffee is at $13+

Well done!

These same idiots who complain about big gobmint blame the gobmint for not controlling prices. Morans!

And the drought is involved in some current prices.

Gallon of Milk: $3.49
8 pound bag of potatoes: $1.99 (aprox. 25 cents per pound)
Dozen eggs: .99 cents on sale

Those prices up in the OP are just WRONG - way too high.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics

Gas, don't get me started.
