Hi, there are times where products and services get too expensive because of various reasons, for example, a one dollar coke becomes three dollars or maybe rent rates double, when someone wants to complain in a general way and in addressing all the high prices, what do they say? Can they say "Ah, this costliness is breaking my back" ? I'm looking for a the most common word for high prices in general, in a country. Thanks for your time.

"costliness" is not a word that we really use in this way. You can say e.g. "The cost of everything nowadays is too high", or you can use the phrase "cost of living", which means the cost of the everyday things that you need to get by, such as food, electricity, rent etc.
