Prices have been jacked through the roof, even for fast food and basic chain fare. Don’t even want to know what it costs to eat at a real restaurant these days. Eating out is now a luxury rather than a convenience for many of us.
Considering that basic food items just went up another 25 - 30 cents over the last few weeks (that’s at Wally World - it’s probably more at other stores), I can understand why eating out is so expensive - but it gets to a point where it’s just not worth it.
I went out to the movies over Thanksgiving. the tickets were not that bad, but the concessions were outrageous. No thank you I will not be doing another movie anytime soon.
Thankfully I got a lot of fish and venison in my freezer for the winter.
