    I’m still surprised every time I go into a Subway and the footlongs don’t cost $5. Now they cost $12.

      Fast food is ridiculous, it used to be half the price but you can go to a bar and grill or a family restaurant and get better food for the same price now. I rarely consider it any longer unless I’m really crunched on time or have no other options. It’s such a ripoff these days.

        I used them a lot but I don’t get them much anymore. Used to get them once every 2 weeks, now it’s once every few months.

      And a chilope burrito is like $11, chicken used to be 5.50 when I was in college

      I’d rather stuff became cheaper instead of me making more money. Deflation time
