price changes due to COVID, inflation, other

Postby thecrazyone » Wed Oct 13, 2021 1:02 pm

Some crazy observations from this week:

1. I got a "value meal" at Taco Bell on Monday. That "value meal" was $10.15, with no State tax (DE). $10 for a value meal at TB??

2. As I mentioned in another post, I got lucky and got gas for $2.99 the other day- but all of the other stations in the area are currently $3.29!! Um, hello? Joe?

3. I will be curious to see what the cost of "natural" gas increases to once the colder weather hits. I have firewood for emergencies, but I already told my wife we better be prepared for expensive heat this Winter..

Raising Cane's lived up to their name and raised the price of their 3-finger combo meal about a dollar to $8.53 while shrinking the size of the chicken fingers. I'm giving them a middle finger combo and not going back.

Btw, stickers like this are showing up nationwide on gas pumps, in shopping aisles:

We dont really eat out to often anymore. My wife did happen to get a 10$ gift cert to subway from one of her students so I went and grabbed a full sized philly cheese steak style sub or whatever they call it. Ended up I owed them like 80 something cents. Im not exactly sure what toppings or extras I picked past extra cheese, but apparently regular cheese wouldnt have been a thin slice that covered the whole sandwich if I hadnt ordered extra. I think maybe I had extra onions also for that price but not positive. I took off the peppers though so my hillbilly brain tells me that evens out. lol.

We do order pizza every so often and one thing I notice very immediately was the prices in store are insanely lower than the delivered price if we buy the right things. I find it weird because I know one of their delivery guys who did it as recently as half a year back and they did make decent money as compared to the other workers including their tips but most of this delivery fee according to a kinda friend never goes to them or even the other workers as best he knew. I totally get companies need to make money to stay in business but this seems like a shady way to run it to me.

Biden is such a joke.

Good news: Taco Bell has a new $5 box :)

The most accurate words to describe Biden are not suitable for young audiences, and those words may not be allowed on this website. But they ARE the most accurate.
