The most frustrating thing is that there's no reason for this. Yes, we're seeing some inflation, but for some reason corporations decided that now was the good time to accelerate shrink-flation and price gouging. I'm so over it. I'm basically trying to replace everything that's mass produced at this point because I'm tired of being taken advantage of. Everythings so expensive now that I can source groceries and goods locally for the same price. I hope more people do the same and it bankrupts all these shit mega corps.

If you're looking for a hobby 3D printing is a pretty great way to take stuff into your own hands. Hydroponic towers, car parts, stuff around the house. The list really goes on with it, I just printed new tires for my Roomba, sure they're only $10, but printing them cost me a few pennies.
