I see a lot of complaints about fast food being and other meals becoming much more expensive than usual. I know it’s true because grocery prices are absurd, but I genuinely don’t know what’s considered “expensive” with fast food.

I just instinctively know it’s expensive and never eat out. Like $8 for one small smash burger just seems absurd to me, but apparently that’s always been normal?

    I think last time i saw a mcdonalds menu it was like $11+ tax for a big mac meal, wasn't that long ago. I'm old enough to remember when it was 0.39 for a cheeseburger on Wednesdays chomsky-yes-honey

      A few years ago, Pre-covid, church’s chicken had sales every wednesday for fried chicken. Enough to feed a family of 5+. My brother would buy a bunch. I don’t remember how much it was, but enough for them to be horrified when they go out and buy it in today’s money lol
