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 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.

- 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.

- 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

  They make special TVs with fewer features (such as no audio out) specifically for Black Friday specials.

We hit the point where the dollar is worth almost exactly half of what it was when I first started working in the mid 90s. It's helped to reground my price expectations.

Nintendo games will always be $70

isn't inflation a wonderful invention? keeps the economy growing. aren't we lucky to have such benevolent owners?

- If we didn't introduce new currency into the economy the ~~hoarders~~ owners would have all of the wealth. There wouldn't be money to pay people because you get paid less than the owner takes in, eventually they'd end up with literally everything. Of course they're trying that now anyway, but still, odd as it is to say, we need inflation.

mfw corps raise prices for the bare minimum time to legally call the subsequent discount a discount and people buy at the inflated price anyway.
