VIDEO — ‘I Went Home and Made Dinner’: Woman Shocked by $43 Price for El Pollo Loco Meal amid Inflation
Breitbart ^ | 07/08/2024 | Amy Furr

A woman could not believe her eyes when she saw how much it would cost her to buy a fast food meal for her family as inflation chokes people across Democrat President Joe Biden’s America.

The woman, identified as Josie, posted a video on TikTok after she pulled up in the fast food joint’s drive-thru lane to choose what she wanted from the menu, the Daily Dot reported Sunday.

“I remember when a 12-piece family meal was $12.99. Now it’s $43.00,” she said in the video. The caption of the video read, “I did not buy. I went home and made dinner. I was not going to get ripped off”:

I quit buying fast food a year ago. The prices are ridiculous.

Upshot? Losing weight as I return back to whole foods(not the store) and I had to do was this “one trick”...

just paid $80 for two decent lunches in a decent, average class diner. Nothing special. Nothing fancy.

Last week paid $70 for breakfasts.

Ridiculously high inflated prices. WAY beyond what folks with “normal” or “middle class” wages can possibly afford.

Anybody voting for the DNC ticket this fall is either a billionaire or a complete fool.

More households need to learn how handy a CROCKPOT is.

I can put a FROZEN pork shoulder roast in at 8 AM, Sprinkle spices/salt, etc, add water, Cover.

At 4-5 PM, it is all cooked-—LOW & SLOW.

sams club still sells large, delicious flame roasted rotisserie chickens for $4.98 ... two of these would easily feed a family of six ...

I just got back from being on vacation for a week. We had a few meals out. Crazy expensive.

We were t my mother in laws house. I returned home alone as my wife is staying for another week. When I got home, I wanted to get some dinner but I just couldn’t bring myself to waste more money.

I need to do some grocery shopping tonight.

I constantly post videos like that for the Occupy Democrats page on X.

I can’t recall, even once, them commenting on it. I think that shows many are bots but also Dems strictly avoid this reality.

BTW they are an awful, hateful and especially tribal bunch.

I’ve had the same experience, though on a smaller scale.
The price increases are stunning. I’m thinking, well maybe I don’t want this item that badly after all. I would feel gyped, or made a fool of, paying 3 or 4 times what I was paying only last year.

Paid $30 + $5 tip for 2 giant shrimp baskets with onion rings with 2 large ice teas. Best fried shrimp in rural Texas. Still, only go out 1 or 2 times a month. If you pass through (highly unlikely) check out Wild Bills Grill in Woodville TX.
