1. "Beef brisket. I once could find a 20-pound brisket for $0.89 per pound (adjusted for inflation, $2.73/lb is under $55 for a 20-pound brisket). Now, I’m lucky to find one for under $5/lb = $100."
3. "Indian food!!! It used to be cheap, and the portions would be enormous. Now, it's astronomically expensive, and the portions are tiny."
"Finally, chicken wings? Excellent way to have a nice meal. Batter and deep fry those cheap wings and sprinkle some Frank’s over them. Today, thanks to renaming them and making them a Super Bowl staple, they are outrageous! In fact, eating has become too expensive."
9. "I miss OG Etsy before it was flooded with the same cheap crap that's everywhere else."
10. "Golf! It used to be an affordable activity, and now, the green fee can run over $100 for two people at most courses."
11. "Pot roast! Pot roast meat cuts were always affordable and made for a great meal. Now, I make a pot roast once a year. The last time was for Christmas Day 2024. It's off the charts unaffordable."
14. "Oxtails! They used to be $4.99/lb, but a few years ago, the prices jumped, and now they're, like, $9.99. Why?"
15. "Good fishing spots. They've been ruined by inconsiderate jerks leaving their trash and cleaned fish parts everywhere."
"Then, eventually, the more discerning customers will move on to a new piece of pristine land, but the old site just spirals down further and doesn't get a chance to recover. Thus, creating a perpetual spiral of encroachment and despoilment of beauty spots."
"It's why I don't even look at the big sites. My main fandom has a dedicated site and that's the go-to."
19. "Thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. It used to be a way to disconnect for a few months. Now, it's a social media backdrop."
"Any hiking/backpacking, really. In the PNW, you could go on a Tuesday 13 years ago, and no one would be there. Now, there's a mass of people, and someone always with a Bluetooth speaker."
