I could keep going on and on and on. EVERYTHING is indeed up 30-40% over the past two years. Where in history have we seen price increases at this rate? Of course, let's blame it all on COVID like everything else. While sports cards are average DOWN 30-40% over the past two years. At the start of 2021, gas was $1.99/gal., been over $3.00/gl. since the start of 2022.

WOW those are crazy high prices. They run about half that in my location. 85% ground beef is $4.49. Doritos, Cheetos, and the like are $3.99 and the cheap brands are usually 2 for $5. Kellogg's brand cereals are $3 to $4.

Here Marlboro are $9 and cheapies are $6 a pack. Several of my friends that smoke bought a cigarette maker. It basically just puts the tobacco into a paper tube with the filter already in it. They spend a little under a $1 per pack that way.
