Ain't that the truth. We used to take the grand kids and family out for breakfast almost every Sunday. The prices almost doubled. Now we just make breakfast at home for everybody. Just like the old days!

Yep. Used to be going out to breakfast or lunch a couple of times a week was an enjoyable part of life, and picking up the tab for a friend was a shared pleasure. A luxury, but not off the charts. Now, a standard breakfast with coffee and tip runs $25. Or more. Not so fun anymore.
