/ck/ - Food & Cooking

In 2013-2014 I would go to taco bell like once a week and get the same order (crunchwrap supreme, cheesy gordita crunch, beefy 5-layer burrito) and the total always came to $6 and change. Checking my local taco bell now that same order would come out to $14 and change (incl. tax). I could understand $9-10 given inflation but more than double in under 10 years? Like other anons have said they've probably used covid as an excuse to jack up prices more than inflation because the bean counters figured they could get away with it with enough people willing to pay more or using the tracking apps for discounts.

It's been months since I've had fast food, although I've replaced that niche with frozen food from TJ's since I can still get an easy full meal for $5 that way.
