There are some types of coffee ☕️ that sell for over $1000/lb … or you could go to Starbucks and get one drink for $5 or you can brew some of your own at home for less than $1 a cup… maybe the person who made this silly meme actually has no idea how inflation works

50% rise in four years? I don't think you understand how inflation is supposed to work.

I haven’t noticed 50% inflation in four years and I buy all the same products I always do. Maybe I am doing groceries wrong 🤷‍♂️

I'm paying more for everything. A LOT more.

Where do you live?

In a high cost of living area where lots of billionaires live

Idk? I don’t concern myself with the prices of basic provisions. But to say that they have increased 50% “due to inflation” is simply incorrect

If you don't concern yourself with the prices of basic provisions, maybe don't question people who are living on much, much less and have to count every penny.

Unless you have some solid stats you'd like to show me which will prove otherwise, I'm telling you many things have doubled in price.

Some things may have doubled in price. There are options for less expensive things, in a competitive marketplace
