Over half of voters in key swing states said grocery prices are the top way inflation impacted their budget, Bloomberg reported Monday, according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll:

A pound of ground beef now costs $5.23 on average, up from $3.89 in January 2020.

Coffee is up some $2 a pound. Prices for fresh fruits and vegetables are nearly 14% higher.

At one point, the price of a carton of eggs was triple its pre-pandemic price.

At McDonalds, you are not only paying for the crappy food but you are paying for the wages of the workers as well.

When McDonalds (and other fast food joints) were forced to raise their hourly wages, you didn't think that the owners/franchisees were going to just absorb the increased labor cost, do you?

Not that I have a problem with workers getting more wages but if I am going to spend that much, I'm going to go to a sit-down restaurant where I get better quality food and service.

Pink slime is expensive these days.

No idea where these ridiculous prices are coming from. I’m in So Cal, so hardly an affordable area of the country. Looking at the McDonalds phone app right now. $6 for a Big Mac with med. fries and med. drink at the McDonalds 2 miles down the street.

Whopper meal at the Burger King in the Maui airport was $23 yesterday. I was shocked to see it on the kiosk.

I haven’t had a Big Mac since the 1970s.

This is what happens when Obama/Biden/Deep State run things.
