Has anybody else seen spikes in prices at their LHBS?
Ive noticed a pretty big increase in prices over the past year. Im not sure the reason for the changes but its seeming to become outrageous.
For example, just this week I went in to pick up a few items.... 2 Co2 tank exchanges, 4 1oz packets of hops, 2 dry yeast packets, and a ball lock gas quick disconnect.
"And your total comes out to be...... $90.71"
What!?!?
Im in no way cheap. I paid for the items and went on my way. Homebrewing isnt cheap and i know that but these type prices are unbelievable. Especially with the great deals you can find online (like one last week i bought 5$ pounds of hops from YVH) I dont know if i can justify supporting a local business if they are looking to gouge my wallet.
Interested to see peoples opinions about this
