Not only was it $2 more there was also less meat, less beans, and less cheese. These aren't large or high cost items and at a fast food place besides. IIRC the price has gone from $2+ in the mid 00s > $3+ > $4+ around 2017? then jumped to $6 in less than a year.



Posted before, but lol at coffee.

16 oz. bag > 14 oz. bag > 12 oz. bag > saw some bags that were 10.5 ozs. recently.
At least you are paying attention to all of this.
I used to buy a frozen bag of Pasta Accents for $2.55 now he same bag is over 5 bucks and smaller with less chicken, lol.

It's been happening for decades. The difference is, inflation is so bad it's become more noticeable.

I ordered cracker-barrel from Grub Hub a few days ago. I got their hamburger steak, fries and green beans. They sent me a tiny hamburger patty, NINE French fries and literally two tablespoons worth of fries for $13....Yes I counted/measured because I was so irate.


...and yes I know Cracker Barrel is garbage. My daughter wanted pancakes LULZ.

Yup. My favorite sushi place was 12.95$ for lunch special of 6 nigiri sushi and spicy tuna roll

Now it’s 15.95$ and you get 5 pieces that are about the size of 1/3rd of the cut.

Favorite breakfast taco place was 3.25$ a taco now its 4.00$. There hot sauces they give you are about 1/5th full when they used to be to the brim full as well so I have to ask for extra


Some Chinese restaurant went from 15$ on their calamari and gave you a lot to 20$ and it’s literally a 1/3rd the size of portion it was before that I no longer go to

Really annoying. Fukn hate democrats for this disaster they put us in

Defend defend defend. Tell your fat wife and her family to stop eating all the food in America and I’m sure inflation may go down some along with medical problems you want working Americans to pay for

I eat once a day and I want a big burrito bowl, not half the size I got 2 months ago but the same price (or 20% more).
