FULL INTERVIEW:    • SURPRISE: Mother who Donald Trump gav...  
Former President Donald Trump gave a Pennsylvania mom of three $100 toward her groceries during a campaign stop Monday while promising to lower supermarket prices if he’s re-elected to the White House.

A video shared by his campaign team shows Trump handing a bill to a woman checking out at the grocery store, Sprankle’s Neighborhood Market, in Kittanning, Pa., as cameras surround the Republican nominee for president.

Pennsylvania mom of three Jenny Kantz found it a "complete surprise" when former President Trump handed her $100 at a grocery store checkout line to take the pinch out of her bill.

"It was a great experience," she told "Fox & Friends" Tuesday.

Sitting alongside her husband Bryant, Jenny enthused about meeting the former president at the Sprankles Grocery Store her cousin owns in Kittanning, northeast of Pittsburgh on Monday.


Trump's team reportedly requested that someone be present at the checkout counter upon his arrival, but Kantz says she had no idea he had planned to give her money from his own wallet.
“Here, it’s gonna go down a little,” he says as he hands the woman the money. “It just went down 100 bucks.”
Video of the moment shows Trump handing over the cash and telling Kantz, "It [the cost] just went down 100 bucks. We'll do that for you from the White House."

"The total bill was $194 and some change, and the inflation on groceries has definitely affected us," Kantz explained on Tuesday.

"I think it was late 2022 or early 2023, I remember coming home from the grocery store and telling him [Bryant], 'I don't even know how to budget for groceries anymore because it's like every time I go to the store, they just go up and up and up.' That, paired with the rising cost of energy, fuel for our vehicles… it just means that we watch a little bit more closely what we spend."

According to ConsumerAffairs, the Keystone State saw the highest grocery inflation rate in the U.S. with an 8.2% increase in prices.
In Kantz's personal circle, stay-at-home moms have stepped up to get side jobs to cover extra expenses. They have also shifted to homemade foods and opted for recipe-sharing to make their money go further.

Despite cost burdens, Kantz said she plans to keep the $100 bill Trump gave her.

"I'm going to frame it," she laughed. #trump #trending #trendingshorts
