God I'd love to live where you guys live where grocery prices are going down.... Last month I damn near shit myself at the 23 CAD for a pack of 4 chicken breasts, compared to early last year when you could get them for 15 CAD. A single red onion where I live is 3 dollars, whereas last year it was 2 bucks.Jesus Christ that is expensive for chicken
If that lady said it's due to wages increasing on a message board everyone would jump her and say how wrong she is.
Isn't that supposed to be a good thing? Fast food is generally unhealthy.yep. Whats the problem here.
It has gotten stupid expensive. If it's gonna cost 25 bucks to feed two people I'd rather not. It being cheap used to be the draw, it's not good enough to justify premium prices
Federal minimum wage in 1993 - 4.25 an hour
Federal minimum wage now - 7.25 an hour
McDonald's quarter pounder meal in 1993 - $2.99
McDonald's quarter pounder meal now (average price) - $8.79

That's not "when wages go up prices go up". That's greed. Blue collar dollars don't go as far as they used to.
Fast food has never been worth the price. Its bad for you and barely contains meaningful nutrients. My grocery has a bag of baby carrots for 99 cents, and I like carrots. Im sure everyone else can do the same.
If I'm going to eat tasty garbage I want to pay garbage prices. I'm not spending $20 at fucking Burger King. You gimmie a decent filling meal for $8 or I'll just go get something better.Right?

I would love to see people health conscious and stop eating fast food because it's bad for you, not just because it's bad for your pocketbook.
Definitely have, it's usually cheaper to just get something better like pizza or Chinese than fast food nowadays lol. Just more reason for me to cut out fast food, which I've been working on doing anyway.
Funny when people suggest that people use the app for cheaper prices. Not only are those prices often still more expensive than regular prices used to be, you're also paying with your personal information which is worth a lot more than the difference you get in price between with-app and without-app.Not to mention, studies have shown that people who use apps end up spending even more money.
it's a good thing that people are eating less shitty fast food.
it's not a good thing that the main driver of this change is unchecked corporate greed.
Yeah, I'd rather buy tamales at the grocery store than go to Taco Bell.And those tamales prob taste a thousand times better.
Taco bell prices have tripled over the past 20 years, with zero increase in food quality or portion size.
