    Also “this economy is killing me” after they raise their fucking prices 40% in a year…

    I’ve completely abandoned some of my favourite restaurants at this point.

      I feel like it’s this rubber band effect where everyone just overshoot everything and now refuses to bring prices down.

      I went from eating out every single day to making everything at home for the last 4 months. Cut back on my food spending by 66%

        Fucking grocery prices are up big time too. I like to grill Ribeyes, and the price has almost doubled. Everything has gone up, but like you said, the restaurants are even crazier. $14 at a McDonalds for a skinny guy like me? Fuck that

          I only really eat one meal a day and it’s a big one. Would be like a 2L of soda and a large pizza or a sub and app from a restaurant. I wouldn’t have it delivered but it was easily 25 bucks a day for that one meal. Now I meal prep egg cups for breakfast and cook up a big batch of chicken tacos for the week or just make rice or salad for dinner. Grocery bills under 80$ for a week. I only have one mouth to feed though and I hate cooking.
