Found an old invoice from my first year installing, the prices are wild

I was cleaning out my truck and found a receipt from 2004 for a glue-down vinyl job in Cincinnati. The total material cost for 800 square feet was under $300. I looked up the same product today and it's over $1,200. I knew stuff got more expensive, but seeing the actual numbers from back then was a shock. What's the biggest price jump you guys have seen on a material you use all the time?

Heard a buddy talking about his lumber bill last week. He showed me the receipt for a basic 2x4 that cost him over eight bucks now. I remember helping him build a shed years ago when those were under three dollars.

Man, that's a brutal jump to see on paper.
