Seeing the World Through a Sub....

These days, there is no shortage of stories pertaining to the escalating prices of groceries. Going to my local Kroger (which has the cheapest food in my neck of the woods), the numbers are irrefutable. Eggs have doubled in the past year, fruit juice has risen over 30%, etc.

However, in one of my frequent trips to Subway, I noticed many of their $5 footlongs are now $5.50. "WTF" was my initial thought. Maybe the owner was being a greedy jerk?.
Alas, no... I learned that the company had to increase its prices at all locations by 10% due to the rising cost of ingredients.

Is nothing sacred to the Fed and its banking cartel?

So I was looking through a cabinet and found a 45oz mason jar of raw honey. It was priced 3.50 and had no expiration date, but I'm sure it was from the early/mid 90's.

The honey I buy now is a 35oz mason jar for 9 bucks and was 8 a year ago.

I've only eaten at subway a few times, are their subs still scimpy? Last I can remember is the bread taste pretty good.
Like Pizza Hut, they've mastered tasty bread so what ever is thrown on it, it also tastes good.
