Are there stores or restaurants you don’t go to anymore because they got too expensive?

There’s this açaí bowl place I like and have been going to for years, but I just went today and found out the price of the bowl went up $4 from when I was here last in November. That’s just insane. I can’t see this place lasting much longer. :(

The inflation has just started. The truth is the pandemic has been a fantastic way to bankrupt small and medium business so that the only players left standing are giant corporates with backroom deals with the government.

They'll keep their prices down.... for now, by reducing portion sizes, sourcing from desperate third world countries, and lobbying the government for subsidies, then they'll jack up the prices when there is no competition left
