Home Alone: Grocery Prices Soar Amid Bidenomics, Creating Holiday Havoc
The iconic 90s film “Home Alone” serves as a stark reminder of the staggering price surge in everyday groceries under the Biden administration. Fans of the holiday classic have been taken aback by the exponential increase in prices since Kevin McCallister’s famous grocery run.
For those oblivious to the movie’s plot (a rare few indeed), young Kevin finds himself inadvertently abandoned at home during Christmas and must navigate a series of challenges, including a memorable solo trip to the grocery store.
Kevin’s shopping list comprised basic household necessities:
– Half a gallon of milk
– Half a gallon of orange juice
– TV dinner
– Bread
– Frozen mac & cheese
– Laundry detergent
– Cling wrap
– Toilet paper
– Pack of army men
– Dryer sheets
His 1990 bill totaled $19.83. However, under the weight of inflation:
– In 2022, the same items would cost $44.40
– By 2023, the bill would skyrocket to $72.29
That’s a staggering 248% increase!
In hindsight, while prices doubled from 1990 to 2022, this was somewhat mitigated by a similar rise in household incomes. Yet, the real predicament emerged between 2022 and 2023, witnessing a 160% surge in grocery prices while household incomes stagnated.
Enter Bidenomics.
This dramatic inflationary surge paints a grim picture for American families, especially during the holiday season. The administration’s economic policies, dubbed ‘Bidenomics’, have been increasingly scrutinized for failing to control inflation, leaving families financially strained and struggling to cope with mounting expenses.
