Crazy
I can’t stand that it costs me over four dollars to get a Frosty!
Rarely do I eat out anymore.

The Regular (two patties) Bacon Cheeseburger at 5Guys near me is now $12.99 + tax.

I don't even entertain eating fast food anymore.

 Quoting: Fema Camp Hobo


A few weeks ago I went to Culver's and bought 5 double cheeseburger meals with shakes and it was $59.

That is about $12 x 5 meals and I don't think any of us finished it all in the first sitting.

That was a fair amount of food that is much, much better than Mcd, Bk or TB and it was less than $20.

I think they are priced differently in different locations just like pretty much every other store.

I wonder how much those Culver's meals would have cost in Manhattan?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82283839


At least at Culvers's the food is always real good and the service is great.

It's madness. I expect an avalanche of fast food chain bankruptcies in the near future.

They have to move product, and if no one is buying because of the ridiculous prices, it all goes in the trash and they have to buy more product. How long can that last?

I agree. I haven't had fast food in at least 15 years. You can just as easily order take out from a decent restaurant. Here in Texas they have taquerias with delicious homemade style food all over the place.

I agree. I like watching Youtube videos with cooks showing us how they cook their ethnic food. This lady teaches you how to make authentic Mexican and Tex Mex dishes (she also cooks up American food that looks fantastic.) She has a wonderful teaching style. I have tried several of her recipes and they always turn out great.

Slim Chickens which just opened here is $14 for 7 wings or a chicken sandwich with fries and toast. What a joke.

It taste ok but not $14 ok.

i bought a book in the early 90s at the school Scholastic Book Fair and the way it explained inflation to children was by showing 'future' prices of things

it said in the book that by 2050 a candy bar will cost $5

You ordered two entrees and two sides. You ate two meals for $10/ea. You could have got the quesadilla combo and got 2 large drinks for the same price you paid. ~ $10.00 for a meal @ fast food spot is pretty normal these days. Sucks but normal. Got McD's breakfast with the wife on our road trip a couple weeks back, 2 meals with small coffees, $23.

Could save a decent chunk of change ordering on their mobile apps. Find that they fuck up my order a lot less, also, if I don't have to rely on them taking it verbally.

A single burrito at Chipotle costs $10. hiding
 Quoting: GLP Effect


Surprisingly, those haven't gone up much in price.

Burritos are still holding the line around 10 bucks... a good deal by Bidenflation standards.
 Quoting: BFD


for ten bucks you could produce your own superior mexican dinner rather than one cheap burrito
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47256769


It would cost about 50 bucks because I am not going to spend an hour grilling chicken, making guacamole (which doesn't keep) and cutting veggies just for one fucking burrito.

I would make a bunch and then eat it over the week... but sometimes you just want a burrito and that's where restaurants come in.

I don't eat out often but if I do I'm not stooping to fast food tier.
