    some people are less fortunate.

    some of them are just idiots who can’t budget. when my friend who makes 50% of what I do, and spends twice what I do on groceries, complains about groceries prices and COL. he’s just kind of a cunt. his habit of 20/lb cheese that is now 30/lb is nobody’s problem but his own.

      Being an idiot in that situation is true, but in your example is also true that the item he was buying has gone up 50% in price. It doesn’t matter that the item is extravagant, it still has gone up significantly. That’s pretty much across the board with food.
