[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prices have gone up dramatically and I will be changing my habits. I recently took college aged DS out for lunch at Silver Diner, and with a 15% tip the bill was around $50 for 2 “lunch specials”.

I recently bought groceries and it was $75 for milk, bread, plain yogurt, bananas, cereal, and a few other random items that fit in 2 shopping bags.

Package shrink is a real thing, too. Manufacturers are shrinking the size of boxes and cans while raising prices. It makes following recipes difficult because a package of X is not what it used to be. [/quote]

Same here. We no longer go to places like Silver Diner because it's not enjoyable to me to pay a fortune for a mediocre meal. The value proposition isn't there even though we could afford it.[/quote]

NP. That’s right, these are mediocre meals we tolerate for togetherness or travel, but they’re certainly not worth the $$$.

I feel sorry for restaurant owners because many are not rich. They have to pay high labor costs, high food costs, high materials costs, high insurance costs, high rent costs.

But at the end of the day, it’s no longer worth it. [/quote]
