Material cost - what are you seeing on electrical?

Welp. Sorry y'all. If I hadn't decided to build my shop late last year, then I don't think we would be seeing these nationwide shortages and price increases.
Y'all can blame me, I'll take responsibility.
That's how my luck always goes. As soon as I go to pay 20 bucks for something, the price increases to 35.....

Pretty sure yours was already cashed.I put in 1.5" conduit on something that needed 1" simply due to supply not having 1". when do i get my refund check from you?

I had wanted a 80 cct power panel. 60 would have done the trick but thought I would possibly need the additional for future.
Well I ended up with a 120 as that is all the distributor had in stock. Otherwise I was waiting 6 weeks.

BX/MC cables are doubled in price.
250' roll for 12/2 used to cost $80 now $140-ish... the 12/3 costed over $250 at HD.
if you can even get it.
I checked the HD in Connecticut near my parents they have it. and I checked 3 hd near my home in NYC (lots of stock )they also have it. same price... it's ouch ...

"in stock" online doesnt mean jack around me when its under 5-10 count.I checked the HD in Connecticut near my parents they have it. and I checked 3 hd near my home in NYC (lots of stock )they also have it. same price... it's ouch ...
I was there physically... so "in stock" means do you want pics, I needed to go there anyways later..... The HD near me defiintely have more than 10 "in stock" more like few pallets, like I said, just $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$"in stock" online doesnt mean jack around me when its under 5-10 count.

The Square D manufacturing plant near me has had rather large "help wanted" signs out front for at least 9 months. Even the Wendy's just down the road had to re-close their dining room again because they can't get staffing. A Hemp business between the two just completed a big warehouse, they seem to be able to get workers (college town).

Home Depot 12 gauge stranded wire 1 year ago = $60/500ft roll, now $100.
Seems like the industrial side hasn't changed a whole lot for us, maybe a slight price increase on some things.
Now anything remotely related to residential or commercial is a different story, as mentioned crazy price increases if you can even get what you're looking for.
I bought an Eaton CH (CHP14B100R) panel back in April, originally had a 5 week lead time, now they don't know when I'm going to get it....Eaton said they have some crazy number like 200,000 of these things on back order...that number kind of crazy to think about.
