Another product on the Walmart site that spiked in price was a left-handed fishing reel. It rose from $57.37 to $83.26 from April to May, a jump of 45 percent, with a post on Reddit showing the two price stickers. Aisle Gopher’s price history says that the price of the reel was $51.12 on March 14.

Another Reddit post showed an increase in the price of cocoa powder from $3.44 in May 2024 to $6.18 in April 2025.

      Yes, you are free to work. Now get back to it if you don’t want to starve or be harassed out of society and die homeless and alone with nobody caring.

      As a USian that just got back from world travel, the only freedom we have here that’s different from many places is the freedom from nasty-ass tobacco smoke EVERYFUCKINGWHERE. It’s the only freedom we have that’s better at home than elsewhere.

      Also the weed and beer are way better here.

        I do think it’s ironic that a chunk of the places that have universal healthcare still have a massive smoking problem.

        I can’t help but wonder in a silver-linings-to-shit-stains kind of way if part of the reason smoking was curbed as much as it was in the states (aside from successful votes/lobbying) is because it’s too expensive to die from.

          I dont know, opiates arent cheap and you guys are nailing that shit. Your smokes did absolutely jump in price in a few years, it went from bringing loads home to bringing enough over to smoke on my trip.

            hey now, at least we dehumanize and tuck our embarrassing drug addicts into the lower class neighborhoods and under bridges were they belong so we can ignore them easier! /s

          Did you miss out on the fact that you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting multiple microbreweries in the USA? I swear that one of my locals has a microbrewery inside of the microbrewery…

          Lmao I guess a Muslim country would be even worse, but no the two that stood out to me as sucking compared to home were Italy and France. I fully admit that I only had what was available at grocery stores. The prices in Europe definitely beat the pants off of US prices though. (Except I guess American swill like Coors or Steel Reserve etc. but I’m not sure those could even legally qualify as beer in the EU lmao)
