Still no sticker shock, Janet?
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was spotted stocking up on groceries on Saturday — after dismissing a question about inflation and rising food prices earlier this week.
Yellen, 77, and her husband, economist George Akerlof, stopped by a Giant Food store in Washington, DC, after grabbing lunch at Japanese restaurant Raku.

She will still lie about inflation. Can’t use transitional again so I suggest ephemeral or fugaacious.

Years ago a politician named Lamar Alexander ran for POTUS. He would go into grocery stores and tell prospective voters that it was outrageous what a quart of milk costs. Someone asked him what it costs and he didn't have a clue. It ended his political career. Yellen would be better off going to a beauty parlor to see if they could make her look like something other than one of the witches in Macbeth.

So investigate and find out what she bought and compare 2021 to 2024 prices.

Janet Yellen is a wealthy liberal. She couldn't care less about you.

Janet and her husband are wealthy people.
What is it that makes her want to be Secretary of the treasury.
She is an old lady who does not appear to be too bright in a job she she has no idea what the hell she is doing.
Why? Give me their money and I wouldn't be caught dead in a Government Office.
Which might happen to her, she is not getting any younger and is already past her expiration date.

Somebody told her she needs to show she's just an average shopper with 20 million dollars. They REALLY do think we're sub human and believe it.

Is this akin to Buttigieg riding a bike to work?

She doesn't care about grocery prices. She makes enough money to not even look at prices, She just buys to her content.

Cost of food. To Yellen, it doesn't mean Shite, as she can afford Whole Foods. Jeesh. Get real - Yellen can't recognize inflation from a hole in the ground.

I watched Sean Hannity and Charles Payne discuss this remark about grocery prices. Both of them have had hard times earlier in life and Sean kept saying how he still cringes at prices even though he can afford it. That is the case with my husband and I- he now makes enough, so we don't have to worry about prices in grocery stores particularly, but we still do and are also trying to make sure we have enough money for a good retirement. My father died when I was 13, and the govt didn't start sending SS checks nor my dad's pension payments for a few months. I had to do the taxes because my mom got into a situational depression. And even military officer pay did not go far in CA with 3 kids in the 90s. My husband grew up in a working class family with his father working 2 jobs. Yellen and many other Dems have never had these experiences. They are the wealthy elites who were very comfortable from the get go. Yellen has $40 million.

Isn't it amazing that anyone with a recognizable name connected to the government are millionaires!

No people in photos other than Yellen, her husband and members of the security detail. This was obviously a staged event.

I'm pretty sure that she usually gets her groceries delivered....along with a dozen cupcakes from Baked & Wired. Her reusable bags look crisp & brand new. The rest of us have crumpled bags stashed some where in the back of the car. Anyway, I'm surprised that DC Giant had any products on the shelves....unless they were under lock and key.

Well, I know I feel better now that I've been told by a multi, multi, multi-millionaire leftwing loon that prices aren't all that bad. I swear, garbage like this can only come from LiberalWorld.

Grocery shopping now won't do any good. She has no historical perspective if she didn't shop six, seven or ten years ago? To her, the prices won't seem that out of line.

Just like Liz Warren getting herself a beer, and Nancy Pelosi eating ice cream. Look at me, I am one of you.
