Among the biggest casualties as a result of the global pandemic are ongoing supply chain issues, which has resulted in a number of items costing considerably more than they once did.
As a result, a coffee and pastry will likely go for $12 or more.
But even before the pandemic first hit in March of 2020, the cost of various things still proved to be a major point of contention, namely at how overpriced they were.
These could be things which might seem frivolous in the grand scheme of things, such as a Caribbean vacation, or things which were literally life or death, such as healthcare.
Redditor madmart07 was curious to hear the things the Reddit community were worth far less than their asking price, leading them to ask:
