By this I mean some food item or thing (could be insurance etc) that has gone crazy or become unaffordable due to inflation.
for me, there's a few things, most notably the Jarrow fish oil which has weirdly almost doubled in price in a few months, thankfully house insurance and tax are about the same thankfully.
the cost of buying our yearly logs keeps going up by quite a bit each year, can't do much about that though.
it's funny pre covid , I never paid attention to food prices, just put whatever in the cart, I'm now a price checker. my father in law would always spend an insane amount of time in the shops, analyzing each label and it would drive me nuts, how times change!
what outrageous inflation have you been seeing in your respective countries?
I ate a bowl of Kashi every morning fir about 4 years straight. The price got higher and it went from 6 servings per box to 4.
I'm out. I'll eat something else.
never heard of that, is it this

makes me wonder who is buying the kashi plant-based bowl lol. so it;s a analog to magic spoon cerial kind of?
It just had a good protein to calorie ratio. Low calories per gram also.
In Brazil, food is the most impacted.
food is one of the worst. do you also get big spikes in things like insurance of car/ veichle taxes ?
Yes, but this has been going on for a long time. During the pandemic, the price of used cars here skyrocketed and has remained high. The price of new cars also increased, mainly due to the rise in chip prices and a stagnant economy. As a result, insurance costs have indeed gone up.
The most recent and noticeable price increases have been in eggs, coffee, and gasoline.
goods: eggs. especially the organic-free-range type from local farms. a shortage of those is also starting, so i will support the local egg merchants regardless of the price.
service: the prices of vacations to sunny destinations are noticeably higher.
i wud rather go to a local park, go climbing, or go camping with bitcoiners.
alternatively, a large group vacation with multiple activities included would be fine with me, if it's a good package deal. additionally, it would need to be to an affordable country.
funnily enough the UK is so expensive now that a lot of people find it cheaper to actually go somewhere abroad on holiday for a week, as opposed to renting a house in the countryside
I got a dozen farm eggs with deep orange yolks for $1 (7 RMB) in China...
There is inflation on everything here.
which country ? latam?
Electricity. When we first moved into our apartment, electricity was about £30 per month. Now were paying £176.
pretty outrageous, but over what time frame?
Since 2022
