The food budget for many households under Trump have nearly doubled, mostly due to many large commercial farms having their largest customer axed, USAid, and also being unable to operate the farm using foreign slave labor, er, I mean, migrant workers.

Biden did neither of these things.

I am not sure what are those "some households" you referring to, but my budget did double indeed, but under biden admin. Just one thing is ballooning price of eggs, that was cooled down under current administration.

Its been relatively stable under the current one.

My food costs have doubled under Trump, but my salary doubled under Biden so it’s all good

Certainly both Biden and Trump played a significant role in both developments innit?

Farms didn’t used to be operated using foreign slave labor and I’m not aware of food prices ever going down in nominal terms as that ramped up. So the foreign slave labor likely papered over some of the monetary expansion that happened in the past.
