Inflation - How is it affecting you?

Oh OK so it's just fries then right? Yeah that could be cheaper I guess.

A large fries at McDonalds is now between $3-5, depending on the location in the US. It's crazy expensive, but not far away from 4.5 Euros.

I don't really eat out much at all, but I do like to go to get ice cream once in awhile, and a small size at the local place I like is now about $6.50. That's for some custard mixed with Italian ice. And a small.

Yeah that is literally the same price. 4.5 Eur should be roughly 5 USD. Food has always been super expensive over the last 10 years or so. I can tell you always cook at home AGermanArtist If I want to have a feast I can easily spend 20 Pounds at any place, no matter if it's KFC, Taco Bell, Jollibees, Papa Johns, etc

Fuck that. I just wouldn't give it to them. I'd sooner cook and put the saving in my hash pipe.

£20 would get me 2LBs of topside beef, a bag of potatoes and a tub of £6 ice cream, and we'd each have fries with 1LB of braised shredded beef on top, slathered in Bernaise/pepper sauce made with the braising liquid and onion rings. For less than 20 mins prep.

I get that inflation is an issue across the board, but take outs and restaurants are really taking the piss.

Idk man. I think they are charging what they have to in order to stay in business. Especially small shops cannot benefit from the economy of scale that chains can, so it's very tough for them when prices of ingredients go up and when worker wages increase. Both of which have been happening in recent times.

Those that can't continue to sell enough food will just die off.

Is anyone on this forum (aside from trap15) under 40?

I like trap15's hacks, but maybe the registrations should be closed for new people under 40. They only play shitty games and their woke mindset is annoying. What's wrong with some good old jokes about women and other minorities?
Lol just kidding.

I think if you and I shared an accommodation I'd save a lot of money. Ehr, and you would as well, I mean. You are the chef, I'm in charge of the hash pipe!
