Lunch inflation example

Went out for lunch yesterday, and for 2 lunch entrees and 3 adult beverages, it was $90. Welcome to inflationary America. Yet, I'm being told inflation isn't as bad as I thought?!?!

How about this,Friday we went to Mcdonalds,6 fish,3small fries and 3 small shamrock shakes and it was just over $40.00, WTF how is that possible ???

@Howudoin Then Saturday went to a place called Firehouse Subs,got 3 beef brisket sandwiches and a bag of chips and it was over $35.00,it's mind blowing to think we spent almost $80.00 in two days on fast food.

@Ramrod I haven't been to firehouse in a long time, but the last time I had a sub from them I loved it. However, your point exactly. That's just not something that can be sustained. So you spent in 2 days basically what I spent in one, but then it's, well, have to wait until next payday before doing this again
@Ramrod When you have to pay burger flippers 20 bucks an hour, prices have to go up

You are frequenting the wrong restaurants, friend. If you go to the 99. you'll pay under $10 per entree. ☺️ It might not be fancy, but it's lunch.

@4meAndyou I've actually never been to 99, but they are everywhere up here
Howudoin · 41-45, M
@4meAndyou admittedly, I'm also not a fan of chain restaurants. Not saying I won't go to some of them, but they aren't my first choice

@Howudoin The chains aren't always bad. 99 used to have an awesome bleu cheese steak salad. and we used to get the BBQ turkey tips now and then.

The Democrats and their propaganda machine, aka the press, don't want you to know the truth. They actually believe that if they lie enough you'll actually believe that inflation isn't rampant. 🤦‍♂️😡😡😡

What all did you get for that please? I’m assuming that did not include the tip?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Are you going again tomorrow? @Howudoin
Howudoin · 41-45, M
@jackjjackson hahaha, nah, going to go somewhere else for next lunch out
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Burgers and fries 22.50 each cocktails 15 each? @Howudoin

Might be partly inflation.
More likely it's retailers charging over the odds because they say they're making up for losses during covid.

That's the 'reasoning' European retailers are using.

@Picklebobble2 could be that as well

Who the hell eats 90 dollars worth of food in one setting.

I have resorted to eating fruits for lunch
Howudoin · 41-45, M
@Hanginginthere that holds you over? Good for you. If I don't have meat I'll be hungry in an hour
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Howudoin yes and water, I’m trying to lose weight
