Did fast food jump the shark? $5 value meals are back as demand slows due to high prices

Eating out is an elastic demand based on the costs of the food or of the shopping tastes of the woman involved.

Things get to expensive and it goes to the curb.

Casual sit down has gotten expensive as frick.

Took my family out to Mexican yesterday and it would have been cheaper to drive to the border and find a few to cook it for me.

More shrinkflation would be my guess. A Burger King cheeseburger is now the size of a woman's fist.

But why? The economy is the best it’s ever been. And why does Target feel the need to lower prices too? McDs & Target must not be doing things right bc the rest of the country is thriving.

I'd rather light $10 on fire than buy shite disgusting McDonalds or Burger King

Was it more of an upscale place? We've got a couple of mexican joints here that are your typical fast causal sit downs and it was only a few dollars more than our taco bell order we got.

Now we do have a nicer spot run by white people that does craft tacos and that place keeps jacking their rates. it's 11.83 (after tax) for a 12 ounce margarita, the tacos are like 4.50 a piece and the plates usual run for $20.00+ per entrée.

but the mexicans running their stuff are still way cheaper and we've been there so many times the staff always treats us like family. they'll come up and hangout with the baby even when they are not our server

10 years ago, who would have thought that a $5 meal at Burger King would be considered a "value"?

You had to have tried it to make this discovery.

Wife and I can't go hardly anywhere under $50 anymore.
