Trump did say one sort of true thing. Eggs are down at Aldis.

Everything else seems higher. Boy, beef and coffee are out of sight.
Bit canned goods are not too bad.

Aldi has the best price on several products right now, and eggs have come down substantially.

It isn't anything he did that brought down the price of eggs. We'll be in trouble if there's another bird flu outbreak.

However Del Monte just declared bankruptcy, so who knows what that will do to prices. Also, I noticed a few months ago there are like two dozen options for canned artichoke hearts and the cheapest are cheaper than some canned beans. It just seems odd. I guess labor in Spain is cheap and companies are gouging on flavored beans.
