Lori  /  Economic Harm

Groceries are too expensive.

Story Summary:

Lori from Texas says rising grocery prices under Trump have made it nearly impossible to afford the food she and her mother rely on. She explains that ground beef, roasts, and stew meat—staples that used to stretch into multiple meals—have all jumped several dollars per pound compared to what she paid under Biden. Even basics like coffee and hot cocoa have doubled in price, forcing her to switch to lower-quality options and cut back on family favorites. For Lori, these costs aren’t just numbers—they mean fewer meals, tougher choices, and a daily struggle to make ends meet.
