He said: “I’m walking around Costco, looking at all the things I used to buy. I can’t believe inflation on some of these items. I used to buy these exact chicken breasts right here for $6.99 and now they’re $12.99….”

He added: “The potatoes, right here used to be such a good deal at like $4.79 or $5.99. We used to buy them all the time. Nowadays. It’s just not worth to buy regular potatoes.”
