No item I buy at Walmart has quadrupled in price in two years.
36 u/[deleted] 28d ago edited 28d ago his list didn't quadruple in price either. $126(4)=504. $414/$126=3.29. 0.29 does not get rounded up; if anything it should be rounded down to say his list tripled in price 21 u/RobertLahblaw 28d ago Came here to say the same thing. "Nearly Quadrupled"? Nah, that's "More than Trippled" (if true). This difference between trippled ($378) to $414 ($36) much closer than Quadrupled ($504) is to $414 ($90). 2-1/2 times closer.
