President Donald Trump on Sunday praised Giant Eagle for lowering prices on more than 300 frequently purchased products through Labor Day.
The grocery chain launched the seasonal promotion on July 9, reducing prices by an average of 10% on products that include proteins, produce and summer snacks.
Trump said the grocery chain will be cutting prices "by a lot."
"Wonderful news! I have just been informed that Giant Eagle, a GREAT American Grocery Company, will be lowering Prices, by a lot, across more than 300 products this Summer, through Labor Day, to help hardworking American families," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Giant Eagle’s promotion comes after Walmart and Sam’s Club announced earlier in July that they would lower prices on thousands of products nationwide this summer "to help customers and members make the most of the season while spending less on the products they need, want and love most."
The discounted Walmart and Sam’s Club products include ground beef, beverages, household essentials, apparel and toys.
"Giant Eagle, like Walmart, is stepping up in a big and bold way to answer my call to lower costs for working families," Trump said on Sunday.
"We will continue to bring Prices DOWN, just like Oil, Gas, Eggs, and Prescription Drugs, all of which are dropping FAST after the disaster we inherited from Sleepy Joe Biden," he continued.
Trump called on other grocery chains to follow Giant Eagle and Walmart by reducing prices.

"Other Grocery Chains must immediately follow the lead of these absolute Patriots at Giant Eagle and Walmart," he said. "Together, we will make America stronger and more affordable than ever before, and get rid of the stench and Inflation perpetrated on us by the Dumocrats and the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration!"
