Things That Have Gotten Worse and More Expensive AT THE SAME TIME

Sometimes, you get what you pay for and higher prices mean better quality. But that’s not always the case and a Reddit thread has people calling those out. It asks, "What has simultaneously got worse and more expensive?" Users have a lot to say on this topic and these are some of the most relatable of the more than 15-thousand responses.

  • "Insurances."
  • "Cable television. More commercials, channels upon channels of nonsense, and a ridiculous monthly bill."
  • "Fast food."
  • "Appliances. Washers, dryers, refrigerators. But hey, if it doesn't break, how can they sell you a new one?"
  • "American candy bars. They're downright tiny now and cost 2-3 times as much as they did 10+ years ago. Also, you can tell the manufacturers are using inferior ingredients -- the chocolate is dry and chalky.
  • "Flying. Sorry, the overhead bins are full, so we’ll need to check your bag and lose it. Also, the flight is delayed and possibly canceled but don’t ask me any questions. Can I interest you in a voucher that is only valid for the next twelve minutes?"
  • "NETFLIX."
  • "Cars."
  • "Vegetables. They used to be relatively inexpensive but would last 3 days or more. Now if you buy them, they look like crap and have to be cooked/consumed almost immediately as they wilt or rot quickly."
  • "Rent. The price keeps climbing, the wages are stagnated, and the houses keep getting sh**tier."
  • "Hot Pockets. They used to be pretty good, even cooked in a microwave. Now they're made with worse quality bread, barely have half as much meat, don't cook well, and they cost about 50% more. All this in just 5ish years."
  • "Disney+, Disney Parks, Disney Hotels, and Apple."
  • "College Education. Health care."
  • "Concerts."
  • And finally, "Life."
