It\u2019s a chicken-and-egg question because summer promotions are very common,\u201d Volpe told NOTUS.<\/p><p>This was especially true for Walmart\u2019s summer promotion, a source close to the company told NOTUS. Walmart\u2019s lower summer prices went into effect a week before Trump <span><u>declared<\/u><\/span> that the company had launched the savings event \u201cat my Administration\u2019s request.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe timing there I think is just important to note, because the pricing went into effect before anything else had happened,\u201d the source said.<\/p><p>When asked directly if Giant Eagle launched its summer \u201cOn Sale This Season\u201dpromotion in response to or in conjunction with the Trump administration, the supermarket chain did not directly answer.<\/p><p>\u201cWe are aware of the President\u2019s message in support of the On Sale This Season pricing initiative Giant Eagle launched on July 9,\u201d the company wrote in an emailed statement. \u201cWe look forward to this program helping our customers save all summer long.\u201d<\/p><p>When asked whether the administration had any communication with the supermarket chains, spokesperson Kush Desai said: \u201cThe Trump Administration stays in close contact with retailers to ensure savings are getting passed on to American consumers, and results like this prove the strategy is working.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1402\">Darline Graham Will Run for a Full Term in the Senate<\/a><\/p><p>A more compelling explanation for the sweeping summer sale at Giant Eagle is Kroger\u2019s ongoing <span><u>effort to acquire<\/u><\/span> the grocery chain in a $1.65 billion deal, Volpe said.<\/p><p>\u201cGiant Eagle announcing these massive price rollbacks, I would gather, is more likely related to this pending acquisition that\u2019s making a lot of headlines in an attempt to assuage concerns,\u201d Volpe said.<\/p>\n<p>There is \u201cno real sense of seasonality or cyclicality to food prices in general,\u201d according to Volpe, and there are a multitude of reasons why a retailer might decide to lower prices, including competing with other chains and driving traffic to certain stores. Linking promotional activity to any presidential administration creates a \u201cslippery slope for these retailers,\u201d Volpe added.<\/p><p>\u201cI really, really doubt that any retailer of any stripe wants to credit the Trump administration for the lower prices, and that\u2019s not a political statement,\u201d Volpe said. \u201cIt\u2019s because linking their behavior to pressure from the president sets a worrisome precedent for these retailers.\u201d<\/p><p>Walmart and its subsidiary Sam\u2019s Club lowered the price of beef in its recent savings campaign \u2014 which is one of Trump\u2019s continued <span><u>policy goals<\/u><\/span>. Walmart and Sam\u2019s Club also lowered prices on various items to honor the 250 anniversary of the nation\u2019s founding, according to Trump.<\/p><p>\u201cWalmart will, in particular, be dropping the price for a pound of ground beef by almost 15%, among many other products,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social. \u201cThis is a huge deal for the many millions of Americans who, smartly, shop at Walmart, which is a truly patriotic Company who loves the U.S.A.\u201d<\/p><p>Giant Eagle also lowered its beef prices, as well as roughly 300 other items. The grocery chain launched its summer version of the On Sale This Season, after the \u201ccompany saw a strong customer response to its fall\u201d version of the pricing effort, according to Giant Eagle\u2019s <span><u>press release<\/u><\/span>, which made no mention of the president.<\/p><p>The <span><u>Consumer Price Index<\/u><\/span> for all items increased 3.5% in June year over year, though prices dipped .4% in the month of June as a temporary pause in the Iran war slowed fuel prices.<\/p>\n<p>Americans, though, still think groceries are too expensive.<\/p><p>In a <span><u>Washington Post-Ipsos poll<\/u><\/span> conducted from July 8 to July 13, 66% of Americans said they would describe the cost of groceries as unaffordable \u2014 a notable increase from the 45% who answered that way in February before the war.<\/p><p>Americans are also concerned about broader economic woes.
