The first reference is Jan 2025 and was reflecting on the PREVIOUS 12 months.

A quote from the second. “Food prices rose faster than overall inflation.”

Trump keeps claiming that prices are ‘way down’ — but with food inflation running nearly twice the rate as it was in Biden’s last year, Americans are not fooled.

I highlighted Jarod's claim. It is dead, flat, wrong. His own source proves it is wrong, and your cherry picking an irrelevant statement to that changes nothing.

Food Price Outlook - Summary Findings | Economic Research Service

ERS research and reporting of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for food contributes to an understanding of which food categories experience substantial price changes, how consumers spend their incomes on food, and how and why prices change.
www.ers.usda.gov www.ers.usda.gov

Right now, food inflation is running about 2.7 to 3.0 year-to-date. So, you are totally FULL OF SHIT. Prices aren't "way down" except on some items like eggs where the market recovered after a massive kill off of egg producing poultry. Instead, they are tracking about even with inflation as would be expected.

For your absurd claim to be true, food inflation would have to be somewhere between 10 and 30% and that's not happening. Again, YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT.

From YOUR source:

Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 3.0 percent before seasonal adjustment.
Food

The index for food rose 0.2 percent in September, after rising 0.5 percent in August. The food at home index increased
0.3 percent over the month. Four of the six major grocery store food group indexes increased in September. The index for
other food at home rose 0.5 percent over the month after rising 0.1 percent in August. The cereals and bakery products
index and the nonalcoholic beverages index both increased 0.7 percent in September. The index for meats, poultry, fish,
and eggs rose 0.3 percent over the month following a 1.0-percent increase in August.

The dairy and related products index declined 0.5 percent in September as the cheese and related products index
decreased 0.7 percent. The index for fruits and vegetables was unchanged over the month.

The food away from home index rose 0.1 percent in September. The index for limited service meals rose 0.2 percent over
the month while the index for full service meals was unchanged.

The index for food at home rose 2.7 percent over the 12 months ending in September, as it did over the 12 months ending
in August. The meats, poultry, fish, and eggs index rose 5.2 percent over the last 12 months. The index for nonalcoholic
beverages increased 5.3 percent over the same period and the index for other food at home rose 1.9 percent. The cereals
and bakery products index increased 1.6 percent over the 12 months ending in September. The index for fruits and
vegetables rose 1.3 percent and the index for dairy and related products increased 0.7 percent over the same period.

That is EXACTLY what I claimed. Thank you for confirming that and making yourself look like the idiot you are.

Are prices way down?
 
Excluding gas, U.S. consumer prices are up about 3.0% year-over-year as of September 2025, with notable increases in housing, healthcare, and services.

Here’s a breakdown of how inflation is affecting different categories beyond gasoline:

📈 Inflation by Category (2025)​

  • Overall Inflation Rate: 3.0% for the 12 months ending September
  • Core Inflation (excluding food and energy): Up 0.1% in May, following a 0.2% increase in April
  • Housing Costs: Rent and shelter prices continue to rise, contributing significantly to core inflation
  • Healthcare Services: Medical care and insurance premiums have seen moderate increases
  • Education and Personal Care: Slight upticks in tuition and grooming services
  • Transportation (excluding gas): Used cars and trucks, new vehicles, and airline fares have decreased in recent months
  • Food Prices: Groceries fell 0.1% in July, helping offset some inflationary pressure

🧠 What’s Driving These Changes?​

  • Tariffs have pushed up prices for imported goods like furniture, shoes, and coffee
  • Labor costs and supply chain adjustments are keeping service-sector inflation elevated
  • Energy prices

No, your original point was they are astronomically up and going up far faster than they were under Biden. All of that is a total lie.
 
Give examples of rising prices at the grocery store?

Grocery prices have risen across multiple categories in 2025, with notable spikes in meat, eggs, coffee, and baked goods. Some items have jumped by double-digit percentages compared to last year.

Here are some of the most affected grocery items:

🥩 Meat, Poultry, Fish, and Eggs​

  • Eggs: Prices surged by 58.8% year-over-year due to supply chain disruptions and avian flu outbreaks
  • Chicken and beef: Up 7–10%, driven by feed costs and labor shortages
  • Seafood: Prices rose 6–8%, especially for imported varieties

🥖 Bakery and Cereal Products​

  • Bread and baked goods: Increased by 4.6%, with wheat prices and energy costs contributing
  • Cereals: Up 3.2%, affected by packaging and ingredient inflation

☕ Beverages​

  • Coffee: Prices rose 5–7%, impacted by global crop issues and tariffs
  • Nonalcoholic beverages: Up 2.1%, including juice and bottled drinks

🧀 Dairy Products​

  • Milk and cheese: Saw modest increases of 0.8–2%, though some regions report higher spikes

🥬 Produce and Snacks​

  • Fresh fruits and vegetables: Up 2–4%, with regional variation depending on weather and transport costs
  • Packaged snacks: Increased 3–5%, especially for chips and crackers

🛒 Regional Differences​

  • States like Pennsylvania saw grocery prices rise twice as fast as others like Colorado
  • Overall grocery inflation is up 2.7–5.3% depending on category and location
