I've seen an analysis that says prices (not specifically food prices)
are coming down because demand is softening because of uncertainty
due to the on-again, off-again tariffs.  They're worried they'll
get laid off.

The next six months may be interesting.  The only things I bought ahead
was some amaretto and maple syrup that will be subject to tariffs.  The
big hurt will be cars and appliances if you need them.  I just don't buy
a lot of "stuff" so won't get hit too hard.

Isn't the Orange Moron, in his immeasurable wisdom, going to exempt
certain things, such as cars? I guess nobody knows for sure, not even
the OM himself.
