Costco and Aldi both had small peppers until recently. First they went up in price at Aldi, and then they disappeared.
Excellent. When prices are so high, that you end up with ten or less items in your cart. For some ppl.. eating one meal a day, maybe the only way to make ends meet. Trumps tariffs are leaving American’s hungry.
I call it the authoritarian weight loss program. I've lost 30 lbs since the election.
I’m following the trend “Recession Blonde” when you can’t afford to go to the salon to touch up your roots. 😂
Answer: All of Trump Properties of course, as he bribes and extorts his way across the planet
Grocery prices are insane. Oh and one more thing...the felon can FO.
Idk.. I don't buy that stuff b/c I can't afford it. I only buy frozen.🙄
😡
more of this! 👏
Umm, Grassley says it’s Biden’s policy decisions that raised prices over the last seven months. Grassley also blames Biden’s policy decisions that resulted in immigrants being removed from meatpacking and agriculture in Iowa. That Biden! Ruining the lives of Americans through Trumpy policies!
Grassley got a letter asking if he would at least consider a company’s need for immigrants since Grassley doesn’t care about Iowans.
Grassley needs to be in a home or in a pine box . Not the Senate. These people need term limits
Grassley is a stuffed shirt. He doesn’t eat. He’s has a straw brain.
I’m trying to come up with a joke response, but I find myself agreeing with you.
Definitely. Biden has been in charge of US. It is all his fault.
Unless it is something good, then Trumpy did it.
Great video Eric keeping doing this. #TrumpEpsteinFiles
I was told by a maga representative, as he was wearing the hat, that it is patriotic to pay more.
This is ridiculously expensive.
Keep these videos coming! #UnionCity
But the fearless leader will still blame Biden! The dictator needs to be removed from office!
Now Definitely on the right track... Next a black friend applies for a Job and then you... using the same resume.. with the one worded "Woke" and the Other MAGA
I just figured out why ICE is covering their faces and trying to not answer any questions about legal authority or warrants…if their faces were not covered, we would probably see they were pardoned by Donald Trump as being part of the insurrection of January 6. We need to legally confirm this.
#NewGoldenAge Just not for *you*…
the ground beef was 2 pounds wasn't it? Yeah the cheese that's pretty funny/ridiculous. Still at the local meijer/walmart that stuff would be cheaper(but it is slowly rising)
We were given good advice when the CEO of Kellogg’s came out and suggested we eat cereal for dinner. Also, Kelloggs recently sold to Italian chocolate company’s Ferrero for $3.1 billion. They make Nutella and Kinder eggs. And now cereal.
The White House seems to have been cheapened though.
how long till we take out the Whitehouse trash?
I was thinking this morning about how much money is spent protecting the US president. 😣
🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The prices are not coming down they are up close to 25% I just got groceries Friday 8/15 and bought no meat! Only can goods dry beans peanut butter oil eggs lettuce margarine peanut snacks tea bags $93.86 22 items total!
To paraphrase an old Wendy's ad campaign, "Where's the beef, (I can afford)?"
I just spent about $100 MORE at my local supermarket today. I had to use Klarna...it's CRAZY! Also, ended up buying less of the HEALTHIER options that I usually buy.
No low prices Yet Americans are selling themselves out cheaply
Is none, Gas and Electric in Ohio under PUKE-O has 3x TIMES fold now and its not even winter yet !
Me just now seeing this:
Well Done Eric👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
Where are the lower grocery prices Donald? Yesterday I paid $3.00 for one red onion. Are you kidding me? What pain you have put onto American families just so that you could stay out of jail!! #FuckTrump #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Funny how much less expensive those things are in Spain...
Prices don’t matter when you have no job and income.
Trumps meeting with Putin was so disastrous he may have to bring up the Epstein files as a distraction
That’s about right.
Low grocery prices are the same place as $1.99 gas, only in his huuuuge beautiful brain!
A stop eating red meat 🥩 B buy auto-ship low cost household products online
Pistachios in my area from the same brand are double that in my area! I don't buy them anymore.
Things are sooo expensive. Do people realize that he lied?
The interesting thing is if we reversed course on the economy back where we began, the prices wouldn't likely go down. Sticky prices.
Greedy shareholders.
Greedy business people. It's the same thing that happens to gas prices.
Vulture. Freaking. Capitalists.
Yep. Every week I cringe. Buying only what I need, not brand name if possible. And eggs still up there. Great job trump
And it’s going to get a lot worse.
Ask Chump
Fuck Chump, ask his numb-skulled idiot cult fans when that so-called winning is going to start.
Just wait until we get those 2026 health insurance premium increases, courtesy of Felon47's Big Billionaire Bill. And I suspect that is going to impact more than just the folks with ACA health insurance.
It's a little better in IN, but not much
💯
My question to all is regarding Private Equity Firms. I know they are a very malicious source of stealing the economy from most of us. How can they ever be slowed down from being such toxic parasites?

hot dogs are outrageously priced considering what they are made of

Went grocery shopping yesterday and found myself putting a lot back. Purchased very little meat. Fortunately, I was raised by Depression Era parents and have a good handle on struggle meals.
How much was a pack of tariff tacos?
Good grief!
So apparently Low Priced = $11.99 And a High enough hourly Wage to live = $7.25 Okay I guess...
I like where you're going with this, but they never say it's enough to live on. They instead imply that people making that much don't even deserve to live.
In Ohio they do trust.
Turn the hat around. You look a fool
OMG this was EPIC congressman!!!! lmao!!!!!!!!!
Looks like you went shopping at a Target(?) !
The price of bread is cray cray.
A Resturaunt that has been in business for 35 years here and is a hub for socialization in the community closed today. They are bankrupt. High coffee and food prices did that. Donald Trump is an idiot.
eric this is great, and relevant, but can you also be a little louder about the invasion of dc? especially now that confederate states are sending their armed racists in too? thanks
Gas prices higher ... Grocery prices higher ... $billionaires (aligned with foreign adversaries) gained more tax breaks ... Working class lost healthcare, secure retirements, influence Democratic Republic now being disassembled. We are under attack. Make no mistake. Trump is a Putin asset.
An aside: don't buy anything from The Wonderful Company. They're anything but
🤯🤯🤯
You want low figures, go check GDP, poll numbers and tourism. This disaster has been manufactured by one Russell Vought no less!
I can only buy liquids, feed my pets. They matter more. P. S. I make really good money at my job. This is where we are people. Survival mode.
Trump and the MAGa gang could give gas away and you'd still be working yourself out of the American Dream.
All true.
Wait. What was your total bill???
God, I love this man!!
In the clown car with you. Walmart is doing a good job. Stay out of the money grabbing other chain stores. bsky.app/profile/wilb...
On the next episode of “Shopping with Eric…”…
Seems legit. Same here in the OC, SoCal, @ericswalwell.bsky.social! 💁🏼♂️
The problem is that Republicans are a death cult.
They think heaven comes after, so fuck it.
Someone needs to do a UK version! 😂
Prices are high in ALABAMA grocery stores and keeps on rising! The American people need help with all the high prices! The felon Trump said he would lower prices on day one! What happened?Another lie from the FOTUS! GAS prices are high too. Up .45 cents from last week!
prices are way too high, but just to point out a few things- -Wegmans has a reputation for being expensive -Gourmet cheeses like Parmesan and blue cheeses are always pricey -the price of Sriracha is jacked up everywhere due to a shortage of the peppers used to make the sauce.
😱
OK, that made me laugh 😆 👊🏼
And honestly, some of those prices are a little tame compared to my local Kroger.
REMEMBER, tRump DID THIS!!!
Every single thing I normally purchase is increased anywhere from a dollar to six dollars more. I spend about the same amount BUT have at least three bags less. Great job magats. Dick taters are the only cheap thing that can be purchased easily at this point
The low prices are with the Epstein files
On the same shelf as his plans for replacing Medicare/Medicaid and the infrastructure plans, right?
My Trump supporting family members are complaining about food prices. However, they don't think it's Trump's fault...
Well done, Eric. This is how you do it. 👏👏
Hidden with the Epstein files?! 💙
I knew I liked you but I never realized how funny you were!
Love your shopping trip Eric! Those prices are outrageous!
Yikes - I buy all the things you showed and those are large price hikes
Went to Dollar General to get coffee Friday. I buy it there all the time it cost me $8.95 2 weeks ago. It's now $17.95 and it's just the cheap Maxwell House wake up roast. I did NOT buy it, I refuse to be gouged so they can continue to make record profits. Support @khanna.house.gov coffee tax repeal
Get what you need, soon. www.amazon.com/Folger-Black...
$40! OMG that size was about $20 at DG.
Not in my Dollar General,and it'our only store. Ty any way:)
My wife and I bought 2, coffee for the fall into winter we by things every month. Because of where we are in the Green Mountains we had to get good at shopping here.
Did you forget to buy coffee? My Folgers 52 oz can was $11.95 in January, $14.65 in April & $17.65 in July. ($19.95 at Costco.) Obviously, I won’t be it buying any more. Every trip to the store brings more sticker shock.
Even tea prices are up. I know because that's what I drink. I had friends come over that like to drink coffee, and I was shocked at the price.
so much winning...
If the price does seem reasonable then you can bet the size of the bag, box or can is smaller than it used to be. That’s the other corporation trick - keep the price the same & deliver less of the product.
Biden actually brought this up during one of his state of the unions
Yes, he did! He is so much more in tune with what goes on in the lives of the majority of us than the incompetent rubes we have now.
Higher prices brought to you by MAGA. 47 can afford them, can you?
That look at the end. I've been keeping receipts for a year and since I purchased the same things every week or so I have a great spreadsheet going.....it's rough
Did you check the crudties?? 🤣🤣🤣
Well done understandable for everyone…
Was this in our district?
Does maga shop blind folded & have some Russian oligarch pick up the tab? “You vote for the Don & I will buy your groceries.”- done in russian accent

Thank you! More please! Oh, and if you can convince your coworkers to do the same, that would be great. We need more of this energy
The orange slob felon traitor child rapist doesn't even offer discounts at the white whore house gift shop
$7.99 for hot dogs
I can't even afford to eat trash apparently.
Ask us weekly shoppers. The prices are HORRENDOUS! On the average, I spend between 50 to 75 dollars more weekly and that's after I already cut back on certain items
Thanks for making me feel euro-rich 😅
$7.99 for hot dogs. FUCKING HOT DOGS? HOT DOGS. THE CHEAP MEAT ALTERNATIVE. HOT DOGS. Hot dogs. Im crashing out over how in sane this is.
Looks like it's boot soup for dinner again tonight kids. 🥾
It’s too late to save America from fascism. The window has closed. Now it’s about saving ourselves and starting again. “I researched every Democratic attempt to stop fascism in history. the success rate after fascists were elected was 0%.” medium.com/@carmitage/i...
It is Outrageous! FDT
Resign.
Thanks Donald!
I guess we'll see more shoplifting and people eating food out of their shopping cart as they walk store aisles.
Seriously, why aren’t you in DC?
Because he’s on a scheduled working break, and the Speaker sent them home early to protect the pedophile.
But egg prices are down 😏
No backwards baseball caps, dude.
😳👍👏
"So much winning my head is spinning" Parody in the style of Tommy Two Tone's "Dizzy". #parody #song #trump #animation #winning #tommytwotone #dizzy #songparody #dumb #voicecloning
Why are no Democratic members of Congress back here in DC protesting Trump’s fascist assault on the city?
They’re on a working break, holding town halls, going to the market to point out how the big beautiful bill is working out for their constituents, traveling through their districts, etc.
The problem is you're shopping there when you can go to Walmart and get the exact same stuff for half the price
$12 for the ground beef is actually not bad $8 per pd here in NV. Veggies/Fruit are up no matter where you shop here.
Seriously. Stop asking us stupid questions and start doing your godamned job.
Trump's sales tax
This was funny. Funny in the sense of horrible. But we are allowed to laugh a bit from time to time. Relying on SS to go grocery shopping is no fun. Thank you for a bit of humor.
Same here. 2,000 a month Soc Sec. it is easy to be out of money 2 weeks before the next SS check.
This is how you win elections. The economy.
Totally agree on the high prices. My grocery bill is up every month. I am a supporter but please get some better glasses and the backwards hat is 🤔🙄.
I sit and cry in my car for 5 minutes after each grocery run.
Have you ever tried this energy? Honestly, we could use more of Gavin power and less groceries. 🤦♀️
Bela? Maybe he's thinking of little girls again
In Trump’s brain. It’s incredible that maga believe him that he’s lowered prices despite living a different reality.
Neocons weaponized psychology & used it against us. Plus, they know we have short memories. Neocons use tried & true methods of: Distraction Deflection Discounting Projection Transference Whataboutism Blaming others Disingenuous language Rumor Fear Poverty Otherism Chaos to control & brainwash us.
The bakery bread I used to get for $1 (Italian or French) is now $1.48. We can assume this will not be the last of it. Anyone recall what happened to, oh I dunno, French nobility, when the bread prices got out of hand. (Hint: brioche didn't solve that.)
I find myself putting off going to the grocery for as long as I can. Let's see ... I still have a can of soup left and some crackers. Can I make them last for a couple of days? It's really sad.
It's the trump diet plan. (Obviously he's not enjoying the plan the way we are).
Trump’s alternate reality, aka fiction/fantasy.
Congressman Swalwell, TYSVM! for taking the time to do this. swalwell.house.gov
IT WILL GET WORSE! MUCH WORSE!
Wait till you hear how expensive it is in Alaska
Higher prices than in EU Czechia, yet lover quality standards.
Coffee…16.00 for a can of Folgers!?😩
Incredible message discipline, but the wrong message
If I don't have a coupon, I don't eat it anymore.
Truth! These fascist bastard capitalists are starving us to death !
What do Benjamin Netanyahu, Putin, and Donald Trump have in common
… small hands?
I wish you would get out there, go back to DC, and maybe do something about troops on our streets!
Things are more expensive, even in California where we are blessed with an abundance of local goods, but this is not a market in Swalwell's district, I'm assuming this is DC or MD, the market is a Harris Teeter, a very upscale and pricey place indeed. He could have saved some money at Trader Joe's.
Things are certainly more expensive, but it is disingenuous to resort to this type of Trumpian theater. A more telling, but less camera ready move would have been to share grocery (that incredibly quaint word) receipts from the past three months illustrating the sharp increase in prices.
Where is gas $1.98?
I am looking 👀
Looking for low grocery prices? Try the store next to the gas station selling gas for $1.99/gallon. Let me know if you find it.
Where the hell do you get gas?
Today’s prices from GasBuddy.com Unicorn hunting again? Nope. No $1.99 gas #ThanksMAGA #GOPLies
We are in SW Ohio and monitor grocery prices closely….this weeks sales ad features last week’s “normal” prices as sale pricing. Next week everything goes higher.
Promised: lower prices on Day 1 . Promised: would end war in Ukraine in 24 hours . We got - nothing and nothing
Baby wipes were pricey before and now they may as well be coffee.
What’s with the backward hat? Are you 12?
Hawaii prices are even worse since everything is shipped here. We are at the low end of the income spectrum as our most people on this island. One bag (not even full) yesterday with mostly produce was $60. It hurts!
They live in the delusions of a broken mind. #WorstPresidentInHistory
The worst part is that produce, meat, and other non or minimally processed foods have the largest price increases. Make America healthy again?
Those foods are rotting unpicked at the farms or not being slaughtered and butchered, since the workers who did those jobs have either been sent to concentration camps or are hiding from ICE kidnappers.
Processed food has been in inventory. Processed food prices will catch up soon.
Veggies should be cheaper in July( summer months).
But there's no one left to pick them
You reap what you sow!
Or not
Prices are going up, Donald Trump, and it’s your fault!
1. What TACO is doing is illegal. 2. As such, Americans & world leaders should sue him, his admin and the GOP for not doing their jobs. 3. TACO is robbing us & the world. Stop him NOW! 4. PS you look way better clean shaven. ☺️
Shit, some of those were more expensive than in Sweden, and I do believe we in general have a higher salary for low income/working class.
Thank you! Keep it up! This is THE thing that fucker ran on.
Well, Eric! Since you live in the state with the highest sales tax, income tax, most homeless, most illegals (causing more tax $ to raise prices on citizens), most politicians that are either socialist or communist, it’s no wonder prices haven’t gone down!
Lmfao you honestly think the Democrats in California are Socialist? That's hilarious. Nah they are Neo-liberal at best, especially Newsom. And Neo-Libs suck.
Politicians, YES! Newsom is one of the biggest supporters of them both, when he wants to cry, like the bitch he is!
Republicans "sure, prices are higher but he's also a pedophile"
They are higher than ever! Taco needs to go and take the rest of the traitors with him.
With climate change making things harder for farmers everywhere, maybe we need a national push for regenerative agriculture, agrivoltaics and other cutting-edge tech to help farmers cope.
Yeah, the farmers didn’t vote for that, they voted for those taxpayer subsidies.
Congressman, you need to go to carnicerías for the best deals on meat.
Get a shave. Otherwise keep up the good work.
Thanks for doing that. Everyone needs to know how expensive groceries are and the GQP refuses to do anything about it. You are a great Congressman
The elderly and lower income people can’t pay these ridiculous prices on beef. Who is buying them?
Thanks for doing this congressman. Truth is, MAGA wouldn’t recognize these facts even if they are standing in a soup line with a pro-Trump flag. They all devour GOP bullshit sandwiches every day.
Omg this is hilarious 😃 this is me weekly now!
Like my experience here in New Jersey within the past hour.
Seriously, where is the all-nation agreement to end war and the beginning of the all-nation cooperative re: climate change. As I understand it, a ZOOM call can include all 200 or so leaders. The technology for peace building is available.
At this rate, we’ll be starving before winter.
A+
Exactly my reaction after shopping. Grouchy! I left the beef at the store.
MAGA is more than willing to pay more for everything now. They've suddenly forgotten what Trump said. Now the excuses. It's for the good of the country, denial that prices are up, prices don't change over night or my favorite, Dems didn't care when Biden was in office.
Shop at Aldi's!
🎯 Bullseye 'Targeting'
These prices remind of the grocery stores around my condo in Maui while on vacation every item was $5+ including salt and pepper 😔
What about the Charcuterie board???
But but if its made in America it doesnt cost ‘more’
Omg this is ridiculous!
Yep! I have stopped looking for anything in the stores that’s less than $5. There isn’t any including eggs!
You can buy a huge bottle of Sriracha at grocery outlet for 3.99…today it is mandatory to compare shop, because prices are so FRICKING HIGH …
You gotta tell us which grocery store .. Safeway? Etc?
It’s Safeway. You can tell when he picked up their ‘Signature’ branded items.
INFLATIONARY BONER!
Stop trolling. Go back to DC and impeach, convict for treason, remove the regime.
Dems don’t have the House majority. They can’t impeach unless Republicans join in and *that* isn’t happening.
Also, just to add, prices are a huge deal, and almost everyone but the very rich are very concerned. This isn't trolling. It's an issue that may define the election.
*that* will happen once they begin to understand they need to be more afraid of their constituents than of this traitorous regime. Shots have already been fired in San Bernardino, CA by men allegedly ICE agents. I say allegedly because they refused to identify themselves. Matter of time.
Love the hat throw! 🧢
END SUBSIDIES FOR ANIMAL AGRICULTURE.
Costco Costco Costco 😊
Them prices are better then where I am in LA...🥴
Great Donald the way things stand, food is practically free
