We’re being told that Bidenomics is working and that inflation is under control.
Yet, when we see articles about shoppers in America paying $7 for an apple, it’s hard to make peace with the narrative the current administration is trying to convince its populace of.
That was the case last week when a Boston-based influencer took to Tik Tok to claim that she paid $7 for an apple – and only an apple – at a Whole Foods, according to a report by the NY Post.
“Literally just did grocery shopping at Whole Foods and look at this. Guess how much this is. This is an apple, it’s called a Sugarbee f–king apple apparently and look at it,” she said.
She continued: “The size of my palm. I thought it was like probably 2 to 3 dollars. I scanned this motherf–ker I scanned it — 7 f–king dollars, 7!”
The user @via..li shared a video of her expensive purchase on social media, which has been widely re-circulated. The video, now deleted from her account, featured her removing an apple from a bag outside an unnamed Whole Foods store.
As the Post notes, Whole Foods’ website prices the Organic Sugarbee Apple at $3.99 per pound across most Boston areas, though rates can differ by location. In her video, the TikToker even confirmed the price with a store employee.
She added: “Genuinely what economy are we all f–king living in that it costs 7 dollars to buy an apple? I could have sworn that some other like apple that I bought was not 7 f–king dollars. It’s crazy, like 7 dollars for a latte? OK. This apple better be tasting so f–king good.”
Viewers responded with an array of comments, with some supporting the influencer and others questioning her. One user wrote: “On average a pound will give you 2-3 apples. Maybe her anxiety was leaning on the scale.”
Another added: “Even more insane when you realize that’s almost an entire hour of labor for some people even in the US. Imagine working an entire hour in exchange for 1 apple…”

The sad part is it’s surly been poisoned with Billy Gates Apeel spray…
My Dad had an apply farm. in 1959 we were thrilled to receive $2.70 for a bushel of US number one Macintosh, red delicious, Cortland a little more for Northern Spy. They were sized 2 and half inches and up. A bushel of applies weighed 60 lbs. Sales to dealer received some discount but a marginal profit to a fuor person farm family.
Lower quality and cooking applies considerably less but all hand picked with local labor at 15 cents a bushel or $1.05 per hour. thirty five miles from Syracuse, NY. No food stamps but no one starved and everyone worked or sought work. School bus let off older guys to work afternoon from 2.30 to 5.30. My grand pa spoke of apples sold on street corners 30 years earlier for a dime.

I love Macintosh apples. We had an orchard nearby growing up in NH. I like Cosmic Crisp also a new variety I think.
My daughter has an orchard in NH. Several varieties.
Try Pink Lady apples.
Apeel is made of trans fats that can’t be washed off. Remember, they told us trans fat causes heart attacks. The jabbed are done for.
They are also monoglycerides. Those things can cause severe skin irritation and they want to put it through your digestive tract. FDA is a criminal enterprise.
It surely has been surly …
Well unlike the mandatory clot shot,you can peel away the Apeel.
But the foul-mouthed moron bought it anyway?
She’s going to use it as a natural ball gag.
Your glass house is not on the hill. There is no spoon, or high spiritual rock. Men who don’t express mean things do not deserve a country or pussy. What do you want from a young women indoctrinated by the matrix and living among emasculated men like you? I think she’s dreamy as graded on the curve.
What?
If she’s an “influencer” then apparently the only people she’s influencing are morons.
She probably influenced for Joe Biden in 2020. You notice in all her ranting she never mentions the root cause of the inflation, Joe Biden and the Democrats.
She and many others will still shop there when they go ‘ cashless ‘ and demand CBDC , digital QR code for payment.
FUCK ALL THAT
Auntie could not buy a lousy Chinese lunch at Atlanta airport because they wouldn’t accept cash.
Fuck Pei Wei and FJB plus ALL his fiends.
You need to watch what you put into your cart these days or some things will shock you. But don’t worry as Joe has our backs.
FFS!! The bag of apples cost $7. The one apple didn’t cost $7
That doesn’t generate clicks and blaming tRump for the inflation issues.
These ‘influencers’ are brain dead parasites and only influence brain dead zombies and little preteen girls
Surely tRump had nothing to do with the current state of “inflation”.

Trump spent over $2 trillion in his 4 years. But the Democrats try to falsely blame him for $7 trillion, of which $5 trillion was covid relief.
The covid release was a series of Bills, everyone of them written by, cosponsored by and introduced into Congress by a Democrat. They were vote buying in an election year and that forced the Republican to go along or the Democrats would have been screaming the Republicans don’t care about Americans. So every House Rep. and every Senator present voted for the Bill. (a few Senators were home self isolating with covid but all expressed support for the disastrous bill)
So the Bill was veto proof. Now some complain Trump wanted his signature on the bill, but why wouldn’t he, it was a vote buying scheme he recognized but couldn’t stop, so why not make the best of a bad situation?
Inflation is just one more tool in the kit called ; silent weapons for quiet wars.
Insightful.
Who the actual fuck still shops there? I used to go like maybe 10 years ago for certain things but the prices are so ridiculous in comparison with literally every other grocery store I haven’t been in years.
The Wegmans in my area has an awesome selection of everything and great prices.
Have you priced out fish lately?/?/!!!
Now, if that’s not Jewish enough for ya.
Road apples are free around here. Giddyup.
I’m sure you voted for it and are still believing your pudding brain leader on how wonderful the economy is, so suck it up…
Sugar Bee apples are really FUCKING sweet, even sweeter than FUCKING Cosmic Crisp – but I got the Sugar Bee for only $1.49/lb a couple FUCKING days ago – Cosmic Crisp was $0.99/lb.
And I didn’t FUCKING shop @ Whole FUCKING Paycheck either!
She is FUCKable, too!
I wonder how much she sells the peach for?
She’ll sell it for whatever the market will bear, when Davos orders “Pull it!” to begin the Hunger Games.
I just saw a three pack of peppers at my market for $9.99 and no it wasn’t WF or some other upscale market just a random grocery store. She’s not lying.
That was the multi-ethnic peppers in the plastic pack, amirite?
Large green bell peppers 79 cents each at Kroger this morning.
She is getting what she voted for.
Good and hard.
She should choke on it.
You still believe elections are real?
Was that young edumacated Hispy-looking marketing-oriented ya-know-umm lips stuffed chick wrong that $16/hour, especially part time, is too little to live on? But never mind the ranking members of this herd hierarchy. Alpha is always right, baaaaaah!
I will add that from what I can gather that during the pseudo-pandemic lock downs vendors started spotty price gouging. One must shop around to avoid this newly predominant scam. I suspect that businesses are being squeezed from above and are trying to recoup government imposed costs by squeezing below. Shit rolls downhill. If something seems crazy expensive, there’s a good chance it is. Do you higher serfs have the time and gas (or shipping charges, same thing except diesel) money to shop around? You so special. These young women ought to be smarter, don’tcha know. We found two who ain’t fat or stupid. Humanity may live to fight another day. The strong shall inherent the earth.
What? $7 per bag of apples! That click-bait beetch! I retract what is build on sand (in real life).
Hilarious! I hear people complain of inflation all day long.
Especially at the grocery store where they show off their horrible parking skills in the brand new Jag or G wagon, or lifted Dodge Ram on aftermarket rims spaced out more than the crazy look in their eyes that a lb of butter was more than 6 whole dollars! Then after my blank stare to their comment doesn’t soothe the adult baby. They drive off in huff yelling at Grandma or Grandpa to get the “Fuck out outta my way”.
The people hurting from inflation talk about ways to save money.
The people who haven’t been held responsible for one decision in their lifetime are “poor” because of greedy supermarkets and their $6 butter that made them miss this weeks rent. Which they were not going to pay anyways because the slumlord owner won’t throw out my trash for me. Garbage day comes and goes this guy never shows up to wheel my bins to the street and now because of him there is garbage all over the place. Like “What am I paying him for?” This goddamn influencer inflation is killing me.
The last model year of Dodge Ram trucks was 2010 (at least roughly). Ram is it’s own thang now. I’m guessing you don’t mean a truck that is 14+ years old.
So, I think your point was that subhumans suck. Go on. Say it loud! Say it proud!
Oh shit, you got me. ya I’m not into trucks, but all these these guys are spacing out their wheels and jacking them so high into the air. Same thing with the Jeeps. Rubber band 30’s, spacers and wobbling down the street.
Subhumans Suck!
Oh yeah and the Ford Trucks all get slammed to the ground.
They are chrome kings… all shiny never useful
I am in the South too. Mufflers are a sin on all motorcycles, a third of trucks and a tiny fraction of cars. When they jack up trucks crazy high, they can tip over.
I get to drive a low ground clearance car. Down here the street on an intersection or a parking lot access to the road may slope and form a crisp angle with the the road it impinges upon. Really sucks for low ground clearance.
Sometimes, I think generational Southerners assume a higher vehicle clearance than others do. Driving paths should not have sharp vertical changes. The car front end gets abused that way. It is a silly little compact car. Barely not a toy.
Down with subhumans!
–‘R’D [dang it!]
oi, her problem is she’s shoppin at Whole Foods. And she never looks for bargains. Go ta kroger, hunt for the very very slightly off fruit bin. Pick ya up 4 nice firm apples of various kind for 99 cents for 4. Or just shut up complainin ya wee cunt.
I don’t see her problem. It was she voted for.
She should “influence” other hip/cool young democrat kids by setting herself on fire at a busy NYC Wholefoods.
S’mores!
My father told me that one of his relatives found a job emptying rail cars. The pay was 1 sandwich. He’d come home and share it with his wife. I can believe that but not if he did it for long. I know times have been a shit ton harder than now.
They’re reverting to the mean now. And try finding a broad today who’ll live with that.
Thanks for that.
I paid $9 for three Sumos yesterday. So sweet and yummy, I don’t care about getting bent over on the price.
They grow all these varieties here, crisps, fuji, gala, the works…. Plus cherries, peaches, nectarines, all manner of soft fruits, the influx of east indians tore out orchards and brought in ground crops.
S Okanagan still has lots of apples but they are slowly being squeezed out by vineyards big’n small. Washington state just south of us is still a major producer.
The nice thing about this area is its hot in summer and mild during winters. Plus all the fresh produce, fruits and veggies. I raised hogs on culls alone when we had the farm. BEST hog meat you’d have tasted and virtually no fat. Wowsers, I miss it bad…
Sounds like it was heaven, moos. Such divine swine, you should get back to farming. 🙂
I miss Market Basket in New England. Kroger and Food Lions suck down here.
Why is she in my country?
In the ’50s, when I was growing up in Cleveland, Krogers was the last grocery store where you’d want to shop … other than the Lawson’s Dairy stores.
That’s one hot zipperhead damn. She can buy 2 apples when she makes 14 bucks…..the hard way
AND SHE PROBABLY VOTED FOR BIDEN AND HARRIS TOO.
For $7.00 where I live I can buy: 10 bananas, 4 avocados, 1 lb. of strawberries, 1 lb. of blackberries, 5 kiwi fruits, 2 mangoes and 1 lb. of grapes.
Just came back from daily scouting of the Gross Sorry store. Nice haul.
Out at coffee and cars this weekend this guy was talking about how they are starting to lock up the most commonly stolen items and then asked what people thought these items were so I answered obviously the Bananas!
What does she “influence”? The advancement of retardation?
If you are worried about your budget and trying to save money, you don’t go to Whole Foods and buy $7 apples. Hello? Snowflakes?
7 bucks for an apple. Is she planning to smoke it,snort it,or inject it?
Hey, whore. I’ll give you TWO apples for a blow job!
