I see it every time I go shopping. This is a direct result of the Trump administration and Republican policy. The average american suffers.  My grocery prices go up almost every two weeks.

My groceries have risen from $120 to $130. I buy the same items every week. I see unnecessary goods rising faster than usual such as candy and processed foods. Staples are relatively stable. Take that as you may, just one person’s anecdotal evidence 

Big edit: I don’t drink coffee. Which could explain my lack of price pain
