Trump helps Pennsylvania mom of three pay for groceries: 'Complete surprise'
Jenny and Bryant Kantz join 'Fox & Friends' to share their story after meeting former President Trump at the grocery store, explaining how their family has been impacted by inflation.
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.

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.

The GOP nominee is slated to deliver remarks on the tax code and inflation at a campaign event in Savannah, Georgia on Tuesday, maintaining his focus on the economy as he vies for support from voters in the key swing state.
A New York Times poll released Monday indicates Trump is leading Vice President Harris in the Peach State as well as in North Carolina and Arizona.
In must-win Pennsylvania, many polls show the candidates deadlocked, with a Washington Post poll finding Harris at 48% to Trump's 47%.
A New York Times poll had Harris at 50% to Trump's 46%.

In other news the DOJ announced it was investigating trump for buying votes while claiming the persecution was not politically motivated. (s)
Frank Sinatra used to walk through a Las Vegas hotel handing out 100 dollar bills like candy to the hotel doormen, kitchen workers , and maids. Sometimes that is what rich people do. Trump advertises it.
he never would've been there without the cameras present. that 100 dollar bill just bought off 45 million suckers for a month.
He probably "borrowed" that $100 from a staffer anyway. Trump doesn't spend his own money.
walt ... no wonder the tiny traitor can't afford a regular haircut.
I guess he learned that paper towel rolls were not enough.
Thanks to Joe and Kamala's inflation they may be almost equal.
moments later the cashier handed it back to her after pointing out the bill had trump's picture on it...
Trump’s picture on a bill is his highest priority as president.
Did he also give her a key to his hotel room?
At the Raw Dog Inn. I hear they’ve got a nice nursing area to drop off your wife and newborn while you rent a room by the hour.
that's walt's job ...
A basic campaign gimmick is considered newsworthy?
kissing the babies of haitian immigrants in springfield ohio would've gotten a lot more coverage ...
LMAO, no way that would happen.
oh come on, it's a big tent. a big white tent...
Somewhere in America there are ten Trump supporters who are not pleased about how he just spent their reoccurring weekly donation.
... brass poles over shopping carts.
How do you feel about what he did with your five bucks?
is that what this looks like? campaign political humor is an american tradition, for over 2 centuries.
