I don’t know whether to laugh or cry while watching this TikToker discover groceryflation is real

How much have groceries gone up during Joe Biden's presidency?

A TikToker that goes by the moniker "SewerLidd" accidentally found out.

What the ding dong indeed!

Before the critics slam me, I can see that some of this dude's choices are problematic.

Note that bag of BBQ Fritos in his basket for $13.44. That's coming from a third party seller because it's out of stock at his local store.

I can get that same bag in stock for $4.57 from Walmart.


Edit: Readers have pointed out it's a multipack of 3 bags. Missed that on my initial write up.


A few similar items, combined with previous sale prices and other factors, would probably reduce that sticker shock quite a bit.

That being said, it's no exaggeration to note that groceries have gone up 25% on average since the last election.

This is roughly the equivalent of how much cash the federal government pumped into the economy ($6 trillion dumped on an economy worth $22 trillion in GDP).

All that said, I can certainly relate to this dude's reaction.

We're all feeling the burn of groceryflation.
