Do you know what your prices were around COVID and the preceding years? I only noticed this coffee in particular because I buy the coffee and like to catch a sale, and the spiking was obnoxious and way out of synch with other inflated prices, but no explanation for this one (ie: like the egg price spiking had bird flu as a sound justification).

Which is the normal stuff that affects the price in normal ways. Retail tripling across 5 years is out of synch.
On and off trade wars are a very very normal thing in any economy. Severe weather is affecting the whole planet. But the retail of other products haven't tripled and stayed there. That's out of synch, and no clear explanation.
Or recreational gouging. It bothers me because they keep talking like inflation is more mild than it is. On most things that I actually pay attention to it is waaaaay out of kilter with reported rates.
What, do you think you are in a normal country?
Wasn't here during COVID.
Well, normalcy aside, we usually get pretty good prices on stuff, dollar for dollar.
Must be pretty awesome to have world class coffee on every street corner. I always loved the smoothness of Columbian, but am partial to roasts that taste like they were salvaged from an electrical fire.
