Current prices continue to stress out Americans, even as inflation eases from four-decade highs. In fact, 67% of the country’s workers say the increasing cost of living is outpacing their salary growth, according to a survey from last month.
Reddit user GuyWhoStillHasNoName got interested in which products and services people have crossed out of their shopping lists, so he made a post on the platform, asking, “What is no longer worth it because of how expensive it has become?”
From live entertainment to various foods, here are the most popular answers he has received.

Thrifting has become crazy expensive. All of the thrift stores I used to go to have increased prices. On top of that garage sales are crazy, My favorite is pulling up to garage sales and see the owners have just printed out random listing from ebay. “No Bob, I am not gonna pay $100 dollars for a microwave from 2010 because it sold for that on ebay 5 years ago”.
