It's hard to ignore the fact that life is becoming absurdly expensive. Redditor u/schaudhery asked, "What’s gotten so expensive that you no longer purchase it?" Here are some of the everyday items and services that people are giving up due to rising costs.
1."My and my wife have three kids. We used to make Friday a more relaxing evening by ordering takeout food. A meal has gone from $30-ish to $50, $60, and now $70 for the same food, plus increased delivery charges. It's just not worth it anymore."
2."Live sporting events. My husband and I recently went to an MLB game. I used to go all the time when I was a teenager and in my 20s when I made little money. Things were always more expensive at the ballpark, but I could easily afford to eat dinner without ending up short on rent. When we went last week, the amount of money we spent on a few drinks plus some hot dogs and fries could have fed a family of four for a week."
3."Frozen pizza. These days, a frozen pizza is becoming almost more expensive than fresh pizza."
