On April 5th... just about 3 months ago... I bought a 150' roll of steel mesh, for $175. I make huge tomato cages out of this stuff.  I thought the price was outrageous since I'd bought the same thing in 2019 for around $130, but I needed it so I bought it. 

Today I needed to get another roll.  Home Depot still carries it, but now it's $232.  Holy Toledo! I left.  I don't need huge tomato cages THAT bad.

If you're wondering, $232 is a 33% price hike over my previous purchase.  33% in 3 months.

Part of my April receipt is shown to the left.
