<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 798803, member: 13650&quot;]No kidding.&nbsp; I eat out for lunch nearly every day through the winter.&nbsp; I&#039;m finding prices to be higher everywhere I go.&nbsp; Higher than they&#039;ve ever been.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Yesterday, Pizza hut buffet.&nbsp; With drink...8.86.&nbsp; Plus 1 dollar tip, $9.96 for lunch.&nbsp;&nbsp; For one person. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Today I ate at a bar.&nbsp;&nbsp; Had an average (frozen) fish sandwich with cheese only (no lettuce) fries, a small cup of cottaged cheese and a small plastic cup of pop loaded with ice.&nbsp; The pop was so watered down it didn&#039;t even taste like pop.&nbsp;&nbsp; This meal was $9.95 after tax.&nbsp; Plus $1 for a tip.&nbsp;&nbsp; So lunch was $10.95 today.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; Another bar, in a small town roughly 100 miles away from this one today, I got an average bacon cheeseburger and fries, small cup of chilli and one can of pop (worth 0.25).&nbsp; &nbsp; This meal cost over $11.00 not including tip.&nbsp; Just a common bar lunch.&nbsp; &nbsp; Prices weren&#039;t even close to this last year.&nbsp; And I&#039;ve eaten at these same places many times.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; $8 total was high last year.&nbsp;&nbsp; Not anymore!&nbsp; Don&#039;t know what&#039;s to blame but I&#039;m really noticing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Then if you do try to go with the old fashioned $5 lunch, you will get $5 portions.&nbsp; $5 doesn&#039;t cut it anymore.&nbsp; The pop is a bad ripoff at most places.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
