so $1400 to $1900, $300 is inflation. +10% more for supply chain issues.
That isn't ridiculous, that's just math unfortunately. https://www.bls.gov/data/inflatio...ulat
Go to your local fast food joint if you want to see crazy. most items on fast food menus have gone up over 80%, far in excess of inflation, in that same time period.
You won't see coupons for yard items in spring, those will show up in august when they are clearing inventory to make room for winter stuff.
This is not the time to buy yard stuff, you missed the window. Only buy yard stuff if you absolutely need it during spring.

You will have a bit of control on future inflation next election.
For a brief time this past weekend the website showed them at $400 with free shipping, I almost started a thread about it, thinking it might be a permanent price adjustment until they sold out, but thought it was not worth the inflation complaining and shed snobbery that shows up every thread. Also some people don't seem to have much luck with the Costco shipping crews handling bulky items.
I bought 1 back last year when they were on sale for $470, shipped to me back in September with no real damage, the box was beat up though, YMMV. This shed was the best deal I could find for that price and had the dimensions to fit my application. I added 2 shelves using a 1x12 and supported each shelf with 2 shelf "L" brackets I bought at Home Depot, securing them with screws into the back wall and shelves. You do have to cut them and notch them so they fit the rib on the back wall. The shelves add quite a bit of structural support and I recommend everyone screw them in just for that reason, let alone the convenience of having more storage space.
I'm using it to move my lawn equipment, tools, and supplies out of the garage and into a recessed and under-utilized alcove on the side of my house. Mine is fairly well protected from the wind, but seems sturdy enough if you have it up against a wall of a garage or house. Not sure how well it would do free-standing in the middle of the yard, would not trust all that surface area to too much wind. Not sure about snow, but the rain storms lately haven't gotten much, if any, water inside. The door is a little flimsy, not secure enough to deter anyone who wants anything inside (you are in the wrong shed if you are looking for security), but enough to keep kids away.
Now that it has dropped to $400 I bought 2 more at the warehouse.
As for the product itself, I've had a Suncast 7x7 shed that I built at one house and moved to another, and it's still holding strong. It will probably outlive me since it's made of plastic, and hasn't had any issues in major windstorms, icestorms, rain, etc. while butted up against the house. Had a pool built, and kept all my tools from growing legs and walking away.
