What is a steak costing??!
How much have you got?
Might be some local influence, because I see a 16 piece bucket for $51.
It’s $10 for a whole roasted at Publix. 2-3 would equal that bucket. And we all know that EBT shoppers are smart shoppers!
Sam’s Club has whole roasted large chickens for $4.99. Roasted but refrigerated for $3.91. I bought 2 yesterday.
I just looked up a 16 piece bucket where I live. $57.00!
Eating out has been expensive for a few years now. The prices rise, the food gets smaller, or both.
I assume the only reason this is mentioned now is to blame it on tariffs because Rand is against tariffs.
The real rise of prices began during Biden and only now people are whining?
Beef prices are terrible and have been for years.
“People on EBT?”
Probably. When I was a kid, I lived in a neighborhood where 50% of the families were on welfare and food stamps. Every “check day” they would feast on junk food and expensive crap then go with hardly any food the rest of the time. No ability to plan or learn from their experiences.
The dollar has been declining. At the same time millions of chickens were destroyed. So KFC probably pays more per bird?
Make it yourself.

Japan is cheap as heck right now. Fed 6 people lunch today with desert for $80.
It’s our overspending.
I despised Biden but can we face facts? The deficit was 1.7 TRILLION under him in 2023. This admin is set to reach Almost TWO TRILLION this year, 2025.
If Trump does not get a handle on our deficit , we will get destroyed in 2028 if not in 2026. DOGE is great but it’s not enough, someone is going to have to cut budgets.
Why because pumping all this money into the economy is making $55 dollar buckets of KFC chicken.

I think this is referring to the “meal” consisting of 16-piece fried chicken combo with 4 large sides and 8 biscuits.
That’s what I see on the on the menu at the KFC near me for $50.
Even with the “large” sides and biscuits that’s about $20 more than it should be IMO.
So two would only be $22, way cheaper AND BETTER! than KFC, although I haven't had KFC in over 10 years.
Whoever eats 16 pieces of KFC in a meal is going to die.
During covid, I stopped at a KFC, ordered 2 pieces of chicken, some steak fries, and no dr8nk as I had my own.
The teller said over the intercom, “that’ll be $22.30” or thereabouts- can’t remember exact amount.
I had her repeat as I thought I misheard. She confirmed. I said “are you serious? For 2 pieces of chicken and some fries?”
She replied “I’m sorry, but covid is causing problems with chicken supplies, and the price has gone up”
I cancell3d the order and stopped at a grocery store and bought a precooked hot whole.chicken for $5.99-
Apparently the grocery store wasn’t affected by scarcity of chickens
We went to pizza hut in Claremont,NH last night and had bacon cheese breadsticks, and a super supreme pizza and 2 root beers. A waitress takes your order . It was $45. With tip, $60
KFC jacked its prices up to ridiculous levels about 1-2 years ago now.
They used to have a few reasonable deals, but now, they aren’t even worth considering.
I think they still have the 8 piece dark meat bucket for $10 ion Tuesdays. But other than that their bucket meals are insane.
Actually cheaper to buy 4 2 piece meals than buy the 8 piece meal by far. Nearly 50% more for the 8 piece meal bucket a the only thing you are getting. Beyonf buying 4 two piece meal is a second side. Literally. 4 2 piece meals come wit 2 pieces of chicken potatoes and gravy and a biscuit.
8 piece family meal 2 sides 4 biscuits and 8 pieces of chicken. $10 extra dollars literally just to get a second side dish.
Keeping Fingers Crossed...
