Many things seemed to go up in price. Well at least on amazon they did. Most notable was workout equipment. Dumbbells I bought a year before pandemic are up about 50%.

In general we are finding anytime we put something in our Amazon basket, and do not buy it, the price goes up within a few days. Maybe they are playing games with us...

Pools. Trying to get and contractors are not even willing to work on one unless at 75k in my area
