General Discussion

Restaurant prices have hovered about where they've been with some increases but still within general expectations. When reading the OP's menu and price, I mentally pegged it around that.

But fast food. Good lord. We don't really eat fast food too much, but we buy it for nieces and nephews often enough, and it's just insane how costly it can be. I have the McD's app because sometimes there's a breakfast sandwich BOGO, but just glancing at the meals. A two cheeseburger value meal is $12. WTF? And forget places like Arby's where it's like $8-9 for just the sandwich. I have a local Mediterranean deli where you can get gyros and shwarma plates or massive sandwiches for $13 and they'll last you three meals. What does McD's think they have over there? Is the cheese wrapped in gold foil?!

My indulgence is the cravings menu at Taco Bell. You can get the crunchy beef burrito for $3. One or two is plenty for lunch.

Now they're putting in a Chik Fil-A down the street. Everyone is super excited (the kids love that stuff). We're going to have to take out a second mortgage over here.

At least In N Out is still roughly the same price.
