    The really frustrating part is that cheap generic stuff skyrocketed too. Walmart embraced inflation enthusiastically, and their knockoff mountain dew went from $0.62 to $1.70. Supply chain issues I’m sure…

    I used to get that stuff 10 bottles at a time, and it was one of the few things that made it worth going there. Now I just get whatever is on sale at the local employee owned grocery chain. The price difference is negligible, almost everything else is cheaper, and I get to support some place that isn’t evil.

      Yea it’s always good to support local businesses, i gave up my soda/pop since it got expensive and checked my locally-owned store instead, lo and behold they had more drink variety and usually for cheaper. Plus it means your money isn’t going to some already-rich company
