Everything costs more now, and we're all taking a hit in the checkbook (except for the ultra rich). Some people might be exaggerating a bit, but there is no denying that we're being screwed by companies looking to inflate their bottom line. Redditor u/schaudhery wanted to know the items that people have given up on buying because of costs getting out of hand. As expected, there was an outpouring of responses.

    Butter. Used to be $2-4 for a double pack of two pounds of butter, at Walmart. Now, two years later, it's $7-8. Big Butter was looking at the billions that eggs were raking in and was like, hold my beer... I was relieved when the outcry got eggs to lower their prices, which is appropriate, as a basic simple cheap staple food. Which butter is also. Where's the outcry? (Thanks to Imperial margarine, still $1.49 a pound)
