A political action committee backing former President Donald Trump’s 2024 election campaign has rolled out a new website highlighting the dramatic increase in grocery prices since President Joe Biden took office.
The website, which was created by Make America Great Again Inc, is called “Biden-Mart.” It allows visitors to compare the prices of fruits, vegetables, and meats at the end of Trump’s presidency to current prices under Biden. The website cites data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture from January 2021 and January 2024.
“Every time you go grocery shopping you are reminded of the failure of ‘Bidenomics,’” Alex Pfeiffer, spokesman for MAGA INC, told The Daily Mail, which first reported on the website. “Joe Biden’s inflation is robbing hard-working Americans of their money.”
The interactive site allows people to compile their weekly grocery lists to “see how much more expensive your bill has become under Joe Biden.” Foods listed on the website include chicken, eggs, ground beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, oranges, milk, grapes, sweet corn, cheese, yogurt, butter, eggs, coffee, and other meats and vegetables.
According to the website, some of the products with the most significant jumps under Biden include apples (111% increase per 2 pounds), boneless chicken thighs (91% increase per 2 pounds), ribeye steak (82% increase per pound), and ground beef (66% increase per 2 pounds).

Last month, the USDA said that food prices would likely continue to increase in 2024, but at a slower pace. In 2023, food-at-home prices, food purchased at grocery stores as opposed to food purchased at restaurants, increased by 5%, and those prices are expected to continue to tick up by 1.6% in 2024, according to the USDA.
While Biden blamed corporations for increasing food prices, Trump said that Biden’s policies caused inflation. Biden has attacked several large companies over “shrinkflation,” saying that they have reduced the amount of product while prices remain the same.

“Likewise, the sight of a feeble Joe Biden talking about ‘shrinkflation’ — the term he uses — is one of the most ridiculous things this country has ever seen,” Trump said ahead of Biden’s State of the Union last month. “Shrinkflation is just another way of saying inflation — it means that you’re losing a lot of money because these people don’t know what they’re doing.”
“Under my leadership, there was no inflation. We had the greatest economy in the history of the world,” Trump said. “It’s time to tell crooked Joe Biden, ‘You’re fired.’”
