Eating out, in general, has gone way up. https://thedeepdive.ca/mcdonalds-franchises-warn-of-imminent-big-mac-price-hike-amid-labour-shortages/ i guess maybe the big mac costed more or something. it's possible it got "phased in". i won't check next time i go but it's just weird i had to do that. i can get a white spot double double with bacon+mushrooms at that price (ish), and for even less with my frequent-eater discount card. again, don't judge my eating choices!! "inflation" yo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making the steak I cook at home seem a lot more reasonable Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 What a lot of people don't realize is the product they buy everyday at $5.00 gets a 20% downsizing maintaining the same configured box with the same coloring and the price goes up to $6.00. That's a 40% increase in price. Inflation 40%. JJK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtmudd Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 F.Z. had something to say about inflation.. "Cosmik Debris" The Mystery Man came over An' he said: "I'm outa-site!" He said, for a nominal service charge, I could reach nervonna t'nite If I was ready, willing 'n able To pay him his regular fee He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs And devote His Attention to me But I said... Look here brother, Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris? (Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?) Look here brother, Don't you waste your time on me The Mystery Man got nervous An' he fidget around a bit He reached in the pocket of his Mystery Robe An' he whipped out a shaving kit Now, I thought it was a razor An' a can of foamin' goo But he told me right then when the top popped open There was nothin' his box won't do With the oil of Afro-dytee An' the dust of the Grand Wazoo He said: "You might not believe this, little fella, but it'll cure your Asthma too!" An' I said... Look here brother, Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris? (Now what kind of a geroo are you anyway?) Look here brother, Don't you waste your time on me Don't waste yer time... I've got troubles of my own, I said An' you can't help me out So take your meditations an' your preparations An' ram it up yer snout "BUT I GOT A KRISTL BOL!," he said An' held it to the light So I snatched it All away from him An' I showed him how to do it right I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head So I'd look like I was Deep I said some Mumbo Jumbos then An' told him he was goin' to sleep I robbed his rings An' pocket watch An' everything else I found I had that sucker hypnotized He couldn't even make a sound I proceeded to tell him his future then As long as he was hanging around, I said "The price of meat has just gone up An' yer ol' lady has just gone down..." Look here brother, Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris? (Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?) Don't you know, You could make more money as a butcher, So don't you waste your time on me (Don't waste it, don't waste your time on me...)

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted October 1, 2021 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2021 FFS, not even worth saving. What is this, the 3rd thread about prices that has gone political in under 5 posts? One was simply to let people know about an announced price increase. Now how to fix this, hmmmmmmm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
