    I mean, with inflation being what it has been since covid, you can understand why his reaction was disappointment (while still believing it to be true) rather than laughing at the idea of paying $5 for 1 bottle, as I would have done 5 years ago.

    “No really, what is it? Like $0.70? A dollar??? Whoooo boy. Pushing it to expensive with that dollar price…FIVE DOLLARS??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Ok, no, really what is it? Like $0.80?”

    And now if that sign says $5 we all just hang our heads in disgrace and accept that THIS is where inflation is right now.

    Granted that’s NOT what it is, but you’ll excuse us for thinking this is where we are now.

      I swear I’ve seen inflation hit processed foods far harder than it has less processed foods. That and the delta between off-brand and name brand has become massive. At least $5 for a large bag of FritoLay chips, but most off brands are still less than $2 for roughly equivalent product

        Wait until you find out what happened to egg and milk prices in 2022.
