Prices have increased for just about everything lately and I guess it’s only natural that birthday cards would fall victim to inflation, as well…

A TikTokker named Chloe posted a video with a text overlay that reads, “Am I crazy, or did they used to be way cheaper?”

She said, “I’m at the grocery store. I may be cheap, but do you guys remember when cards used to be 99 cents?”

Chloe then added, “It’s my brother’s birthday on Saturday, and so I was trying to get him a cute card.”

She then flips the camera to reveal a simple birthday card featuring a dinosaur.

And then said, “And I see this, right? There’s nothing inside it, so I’m thinking, ‘Oh, like this has to be 99 cents, right?’ 6 dollars! Six dollars, for this!”

The caption to her viral video reads, “now American Greetings, yall know you’re wrong for this.”
