For many students, The Cave has always been a convenient place to grab a quick bite during the school day. Over the years, it has become a popular spot, offering a variety of snacks at affordable prices. However, recently, students have noticed that prices have been going up. This change has raised some new opinions about the cave and why the prices are increasing or how it might affect students who rely on the cave for snacks. 

“I don’t like the price raises at all, I feel like I could go buy something at the store for cheaper,” freshman Tatum Sheperson said.

The Cave has been a staple in some daily routines of students, offering a wide variety of snacks, drinks and more. It is a place where students can quickly refuel during breaks and catch up with friends. However, with the recent price changes, many are curious about how this will impact their daily visits and snack choices.

“I don’t think it’s good because the more they raise their prices, the less people will come to the cave,” sophomore Carsyn Michelli said.

In conclusion, the price increase at The Cave served as a reminder of how inflation can affect even the smallest aspects of daily life. While it initially created frustration among students, it also sparked conversations about affordability and sparked changes in the way the snack bar operated. Ultimately, it was a lesson in resilience, showing that even in the face of rising costs, students and staff could find ways to adjust and move forward together.
