I'm still surprised every time I go into a Subway and the footlongs don't cost $5. Now they cost $12.

RIP McDonalds' dollar menu. Little Caesars' $5 Hot 'n' Ready. Arby's 5 for $5 roast beefs (and potato cakes).

Fuck I miss that $5 hot n ready. When I was younger picking that up with some crazy bread and heading back to my dorm to watch some football was my favorite Sunday pastime 😭

I've been dipping my toes back into the football waters lately precisely because I've missed that.

That just reminded me that one pizza place used to deliver $4 pizzas to the dorms back in the day. Damn those were good times.

I remember the 5 for $5 roast beefs. Then it went up to 5 for $5.95 and later 4 for $5. Last I checked they would do a 2 for $5 promo.

RIP dollar tree

Fast food is ridiculous, it used to be half the price but you can go to a bar and grill or a family restaurant and get better food for the same price now. I rarely consider it any longer unless I'm really crunched on time or have no other options. It's such a ripoff these days.

You gotta have the buy one get one coupons they always mail out, then it comes to about 6$ each, not 5 but better than 12 at least lmao

I used them a lot but I don't get them much anymore. Used to get them once every 2 weeks, now it's once every few months.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

No, They cost $20. You're saving $8.

And a chilope burrito is like $11, chicken used to be 5.50 when I was in college

I’d rather stuff became cheaper instead of me making more money. Deflation time
