Hit 10,000 board feet of cedar last month and it hit different

I keep a running tally of every project in my workshop notebook. Last month I added up my total board feet for cedar specifically and it came to exactly 10,240. That number surprised me because I didn't realize I had gone through that much in just 3 years. It matters because cedar prices have doubled since I started and I should have been buying in bulk. Has anyone else kept track of a specific wood type and noticed the cost creeping up on you?

Did you buy all of it before the prices shot up?

Three years ago I bought 47 cans of beans because I thought we were all going to live in the woods. @jason_kelly8 I guess the joke's on me now that beans are somehow a luxury item.
