Food prices rising: real or contrived?

A Facebook memory from a few years ago and I had gotten corn for 17 cents an ear. I’m paying way more than a dollar. I wonder if it’s because of sucky weather.

My local taco stand raised taco prices by 50% ($1) to $3/taco - I now need to bring more than $20 to the taco stand. Never has rising food prices been so real.

$1 to $3 is a 200% increase.

$2 → $3 (an increase of 50%/$1). I updated the post for clarity.

Yes, the math also took me a second, but then realized it’s been a good 10 years since I saw a $1 taco…
