I wonder, could it be because prices of everything except gasoline have jumped 60% in the past 2-3 years for no real reason?
Be fair. Gasoline and an hour's work.

I’ve seen some alcohol go up a fair bit… a bog Jim Beam pint used to be $9 around Denver and now is $11-14 at many places, and a lousy half pint of Vidal Sassoon or whatever (oh, Paul Masson) went from $4 to $6. Depends on the state and the store though I guess.
Beer has definitely gone up in price. Grain prices have gone up a lot since the start of the Ukraine war. Was just talking to some brewer friends about their grain bills for beer and cost per keg at my local taproom.
Whiskey has just been going up in price for the past decade. I did just pick up a handle of Beam for the holidays and I doing remember it being that crazy expensive at Argonaut
All bourbon has gone up in price.
I’d imagine. That was just one I’ve bought over the past year so I knew the prices.
Denver is a pretty bad place to compare alcohol prices price, but even still, that is so much less than everything else.
This still boggles my mind. My Old Spice pomade jumped from $4-$5 for 2.6 oz container to $10 for a 2.4 oz container and I'm supposed to go about my day thinking this is how things should be right now? Granted it's somewhat of a luxury item and there are various other products that are similar or even worse that are more of a necessity, but it proves my point in how much products have jumped in price for no fucking reason other than greed.
There’s so much stuff now that I’ll only buy if it’s on sale… and the sale price is what a regular price was 2 years ago.
