Our bank accounts are being brutalized so much that our spending habits have changed drastically over the last year or two. Not only are big ticket items like homes and cars out of reach, but even certain foods aren't worth buying anymore.

Redditor u/randomlancing put out a call for foods that people have stopped buying entirely because of pure sticker shock at grocery stores and restaurants. Unsurprisingly, people had a lot of opinions to share.

This thread has topped 11,000 comments, so we've sifted through them all to find only the best of the best of unaffordable goodies.

These ice cream prices are turning us into DIY gastronomic explorers

Silly prole, Trix are for the one percent

How are Gamers™ supposed to snack with prices this high?

When did Taco Bell get priced like a premium dining experience?

Movie theater snacks are so expensive that sneaking in candy is a moral imperative

Screw Starbucks, we're the baristas now

Wings are literally the discarded leavings of the bird — stop the madness

Corporations are inadvertently turning more of us into vegetarians because meat costs so damn much

Even relatively basic breakfast foods are hilariously overpriced now

Any seafood beyond what comes in a can is not going to work anymore
