I feel like I used to spend $5 on McDonald’s or Burger King or Wendy’s and be ok. The other day I spent like $15 just for myself on a meal I’d normally get that I dont feel was this expensive. Then I spent like $30 at Burger King for me and my SO.

I know with inflation prices go up... but it was just a sticker shock. I just thought fast food was supposed to be cheap.

Edit: For those who keep commenting that it's inflation, my original post mentions that I know what inflation is. It just feels ridiculously expensive for what it supposed to be a quick cheap junk meal. Especially when a sit down restaurant is about the same price.

Edit2: for all y’all commenting about the dollar menu — where the hell do you live that still HAS a dollar menu?!!

I'm with you on this. Fast food prices where I live (near Portland, OR) are crazy. They're even worse in my small town because it is right off the interstate.

The Taco Bell near me sells chips and cheese sauce - literally a small bag with 15-20 chips and a small cup of cheese - for $1.89 on their "value" menu. That's nuts.

I got a meal at Chick-fil-A yesterday with 8 nuggets, fries, and lemonade, and it was over $8!

It is really expensive nowadays due to the pandemic.

It is obvious that the price will go higher and as long as the pandemic is not done, the market price will rise nonstop.
