[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We stopped going out almost 3 years ago, it is cost prohibitive to us. We used to grab Chopt salads regularly for lunch, and now it is $38 for two salads. No thank you. We only go once a year to a nice restaurant to celebrate each other birthdays. Economy sucks. [/quote] Except it isn't the economy, it's price gouging. We cut back a lot. I feel bad about it because I really want to support our neighborhood restaurants when they are good, but it is so expensive to do on a weekly basis. We went above and beyond to support them through COVID, but feel a bit burned that they never brought the prices back to normal. Maybe they didn't realize we were sacrificing to support them and that it wasn't sustainable long term. When the cost of getting pizza for the family doubles, it has to change your habits regardless of your income. [/quote]
