Even the sale prices in the store are prohibitively expensive.

One man’s greedy is another man’s “eh, not that bad”. I’m sorry you feel the way you do, but this is a you issue.

SE owns the shop, they set the prices. Maybe you feel it’s too expensive, but the number of lunar whales I see regularly says a lotta people don’t.

I mean, imagine going to Disneyland and whining to the crowd around you about the price of their bottled water because you already paid the entry ticket price. You don’t have to like it, and indeed most people probably don’t, but you also don’t have to buy the bottled water for 5 bucks.

Clearly you've never been to Disneyland or you'd know how often people complain about the price of food and drink when they get inside.
