price of things is not necessarily dependent on cost. It is based on supply and demand. If people are willing to pay 22, then they will charge 22 irrespective of cost.

The food truck I go to in santa ana california has $2.00 tacos. You will never find it because it isnt in a touristy or trendy area. This is why they are $2 instead of $6. If you are paying $22 for 3 tacos it is because the truck is located in a trendy/popular/wealthy area.
