As we see more and more reports of people in other countries “dumpster diving” for food, the latest in the Netherlands and Canada, what we never expected to see is Americans so cash-strapped that they would be rummaging through garbage bins to save money.
Welcome to Bidenomics!
We’ll get to the dumpster diving in America part of this piece after we take a look at the inflation numbers.
Once again the Biden regime, with their puppets in the media helping, are touting the “overall” inflation numbers going down to four percent year over year, which by the way, is on top of the the rise last year, which was on top of the rise the year before, etc, etc, etc….

Granted, the numbers for May 2023 were far better than the numbers from May 2022, but that isn’t saying very much when we factor in the fact that income for Americans has not risen percentage-wise, near as much as prices for almost all items in the U.S. From electronics to cars to clothing, all prices are much higher than they were in 2020.
What the media neglects to mention, as they have since “Bidenflation” began, is that food inflation is still far above “overall” inflation, and in some cases, more than double.
Every category except meats, poultry, fish and eggs, and fruits and vegetables are above the overall inflation price.
That includes dairy, cereals and bakery goods, non-alcoholic beverages and what they list as “other food at home,” which covers everything from boxed goods to pastas and rice, to canned goods. Everything not specifically categorized is considered “other food at home,” which is more than double the overall inflation numbers.
To put this into perspective, in May 2022, food inflation was 10.1%, and in May 2023, it comes in at 6.7% So in just the last two years, overall food inflation has risen nearly 17 percent.
Has your income increased 17% since 2022?
A reader emailed us an image showing the price for a can of vegetables, shocked that one can is almost 2 bucks at his local Walmart.

Dumpster diving in America |
Out of all categories of inflation, food is the only one we cannot live without, so it is no surprise that as of now we are seeing Americans dumpster dive for a variety of things, including electronics and items from Macy’s, among other things, while using their money for what food they can afford.
The Macy’s lady is making a business out of reselling the items she finds. One way to make money I guess.
As dumpster diving for food TikTok videos are going viral, we are seeing a rise in online searches for the keywords “Is dumpster diving illegal,” here in America.
This makes a clear statement as to what Americans are search for as a way to save money so they can feed their families.
This is the “Bidenomics” that the Biden regime has been touting with the help of the liberal media.
