At my store, a 12-pack of Maruchan is $6 - $3.57/pound. Store brand spaghetti is $0.90/pound and chicken bouillon is $2.50 for a half pound. Ramen is convenient and fast, not cheap.

I did the math, and Maruchan cup noodles scaled perfectly with inflation.
They used to be $0.33 back in ~2005, now they’re $0.52.

$0.33 in 2005 is $0.53 in 2023.
Inflation is how the ruling class recoups any gains the working class has made, with interest. The answer is not to make more; it’s to spend less.
