What will a tuna roll set you back these days?

We're talking sushi-grade tuna, with rice, seaweed, and vegetables.

How much will that run you — and how much more is it going to cost today versus a couple of years ago?

That could depend on where you live.

Still, these days, it's almost impossible not to pay more for pretty much everything, including a standard tuna roll.

Any of us can find that frustrating, especially when it feels like the price hikes just keep coming.

But that doesn't make them unfair or mean they're purely fueled by greed.

Many are tied to world events and factors beyond anyone's control.

Of course, that's not what you see when you're footing the bills for higher-priced tuna rolls.

But those higher costs (and an understanding of inflation) can be easier to digest when we take them in one ingredient at a time.

Let's see what that looks like in an ingredient breakdown of today's costs of a tuna roll, compared to the costs in 2021.*

*All costs are estimates or averages at the time they were collected. They are intended to demonstrate the concept of price fluctuations and the multifaceted nature of inflation, not to provide definitive pricing for any specific period or location. The key takeaway is the overall trend and the various factors influencing price changes, rather than the exact numbers themselves.
