Biden's USDA claims Ice Cream is $2.93 for 64oz in the Northwest and 2 pounds of cheese average $4.99 in the South (gallon, statistics)

I wonder what grocery store the government goes to for their inflation figures:

Government Data:

Milk is $2.80 a gallon is the South-Central USA
2 pounds of cheese is $4.99 in the South-Central USA
Yougurt is 51 cents in the South-West USA
Ice Cream is $2.93 for 64 oz the Northwest

This is an Incorrect quote-citation.
Correct cite is 48-64oz container for stores featuring IC on advertisement sale.

I never knew how much our government was involved in the dairy industry until I ran across this video on YouTube. It's was interesting. Apparently our government stores 300 million pounds of cheese in caves in Missouri.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics ( https://www.bls.gov/cpi/ )

"Food at home" prices are up 13.1% YoY.

Thanks Joe!

Back to the real world:

Consumer food prices increased 10.9 percent from July 2021 to July 2022, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending May 1979. Prices for food at home rose 13.1 percent over the last 12 months, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending March 1979. Prices for food away from home rose 7.6 percent from July 2021 to July 2022.

https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2022/co...-july-2022.htm


Food - 10.9%

Food at home -13.1%
Cereals and bakery products - 15%
Meats, poultry, fish, and eggs - 10.9%
Dairy and related products - 14.9%
Fruits and vegetables - 9.3%
Nonalcoholic beverages and beverage materials - 13.8%
Other food at home - 15.8%

Food away from home - 7.6%
Full service meals and snacks - 8.9%
Limited service meals and snacks - 7.2%

In Biden's world there is no inflation and recessions are "subjective".

So I should just ignore that grouper is now going for $25/lb at the fish market.

They have that size in plastic tubs at Costco. I seem to remember seeing it also one time at Walmart, I think it was Blue Bunny.
