Message: [QUOTE="LETTERL, post: 4967992, member: 4687"] I had a hankering for Arby's last weekend. With the cost of even fast food sky high, I have been staying at home and cooking; I think in 2024, I've only eaten out 3 or 4 times. Thank goodness, they had 4 Classic Roast Beefs for $10. Throw in an order of curly fries and tax...and that was $15. It's just reaching a point where restaurants, even fast food joints, soon will be outside the reach of lower middle-income people, like us teachers. I used to love eating at Five Guys but now a hamburger is almost $15 and throw in fries...that's $20. Zaxbys has more than doubled their prices in the past year...while cutting down the amount of chicken you get. But the marketplace will determine what restaurants charge...and as long as people pay, prices will keep going up. [/QUOTE]
