Tracking Food and Gas Prices in the Trump Era (Updated for September) – Sierra Nevada Ally President Donald Trump campaigned on the promise of lowering grocery prices for everyday Americans. We're tracking how that's going.

We haven't updated our Grocery Price Tracker for a while, but not because we don't want to. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has not released updated numbers since September.

We'll continue to update our price tracker and evolve the information it provides.
