Have restaurants like Taco Bell gotten crazy expensive for what you get or am I crazy? (lemmy.world)

Crunchwrap used $4-5, it's almost $9 now... For what?

Its more expensive, tastes worse, is prepared worse, and uses worse ingredients. The fuck is happening?

    I'm cooking more at home! That's what's happening.

    Same! Cooking at home tastes better, healthier and usually much cheaper. The only catch is it takes time...

    But I was in a hurry and didn't pack a lunch, that's why I was shocked at how high the prices were at Taco Bell.

    Taco Bell has always been slop You just had the iron stomach of youth . 25 years ago that shit Inedible to me I would eat it and Just feel like shit.

    But I will concede this that restaurants as a whole have gotten shittier in the last five years. It’s not just Taco Bell

    I disagree. There was definitely a cutoff point. Somewhere around 2008, where Taco Bell's meat became vastly worse.

    Those were in my poverty days, so I ate Taco Bell quite a bit and it was like one day everything was what I expected and the next day everything was gritty and greasy and unsatisfying.
