Anyone else seeing weird items suddenly jump in price?

The shaving cream I usually buy went from $14/tub to $22.

The Party sized bag of Peanut M&Ms (38oz) went from $10 to $18.

The wireless earbuds I bought 6 months ago for $29 are now $38.

Fleshlights (I buy used ones) used to be 2/$25, now $49 each...

I bought all this stuff on Amazon, so it's possible it's a Bezos thing, but holy hell.

What weird stuff are you finding big price increases on?

It seems to me that everything but local produce has gone up in price. In fact, I think that local produce may have dropped a bit in price. Covid f'd up factories/production/labor and deliveries. Shortages have lead to price increases. On the flip side, demand for some items has increased. These sure are strange economic times

I told my wife a week or so ago that the chuck roast we always get went up in price and she was like, "Nuh-uhhh..." and then yesterday she says, "Hey, chuck roast is like 8 dollars a pound...".

Uh... yeah. Toldja. Almost cheaper to eat out.

Amazon is easy. It is rarely cheaper Way before COVID I noticed that were getting a lot of stuff from Amazon. Like grocery type stuff. I asked what the hell was going on. Turned out the wife had gotten "subscriptions" to things like Cheez-its and a few other things. I looked into it and we were paying about a 3rd more for friggin Cheez-its than we could get from the grocery store. And we had a $hitload of cheez-its with more coming every couple of weeks or whatever. No one needs a gaddam subscription to Cheez-its. I have an Amazon account because the wife does. I guarantee I would not otherwise.
