No way. This has nothing to do with inflation. We went down the toy aisle because even though my daughter is 13, she and I enjoy looking at toys, and there were toys for over $20. She likes squishy stress toys and there was a three toy box of squishy sushi toys. It was $15. You can get something similar at a place like Walmart for $5. Even a place like Spencer’s Gifts would charge maybe $10.

I know for a fact that maybe 10 years ago, the toys were at most $5. That’s not inflation. That’s just gouging your poor customers who have come to rely on you because any local store they might have gone to has closed and the closest supermarket is an hour’s drive away.
