As fast food prices rise, Wendy's costliness soars past Burger King and others

[PoetPhilosopher]

Study: Wendy's is the most expensive fast-food chain. The cheapest? Taco Bell

This article talks about a few things - the increases in fast food prices, and how Wendy's saw some pretty hefty increases in costliness as well.

Meanwhile, in my local area, I am still mostly satisfied the prices at my local Burger King.

I don't see many people at our local Wendy's, not sure why. It's probably my favorite burger, except for maybe Culver's.

Hmmm ... This doesn't affect me. I wonder why.

Doesn't effect me either but not for the same reason

We seldom eat fast food. Its actually a better deal to go sit down somewhere, though overall, I've stopped enjoying restaurants(I can do it better ).

When it comes to fast food, our options are pretty limited(due to vegetarianism), and places like that tend to hike the price on specialty items.

We went through a Burger King drive through once, and ordered everyone a patty and fries(there were 4 in the car that day). When they told us the total was over $40.00, we canceled the order.

In other words, whether one eats burgers from a fast-food chain or avoids them, one is bound to experience inflation of some sort.

We do, on very rare occasion, while travelling, make use of fast food joints. If it's tough today for vegetarians, imagine 40 years ago. The veggie burger was unheard of, not yet invented. I also believe Canada is better at it than your country, but I could be misjudging that based on my drives through Montana.

I've never been to Canada, but I will say it varies in the US depending on the region. You will probably have some options(maybe even several) in the Midwest, save rural areas. Not so much in the South.

I can visiting restaurants is certainly easier now than it was when I started, 26 years ago.

Well, at least we're not reduced to eating Soylent Green.

Wendy's I have thought is one of the better ones.

I remember when Taco Bell was cheaper than making tacos at home if you just occasionally ate a few tacos. Not anymore.

It's better for your health and your wallet to cook at home.

 

[SalixIncendium]

The price increases are a direct result of increased labor and fuel cost.

The only fast food I patronize is Taco Bell. They're the only vegetarian friendly fast food chain.

I use the term "food" loosely in this post.

It actually costs me more to cook at home than to eat out...if I eat what I want.

Sure I can eat the same thing every day and save money, but if I want variety, purchasing individual ingredients actually costs more in the long run if you are eating alone.

Driving thru cattle country you found
a paucity of vegetarian fare?
Whoodathunkit!?
40 years ago, I bought veggie burgers
when I worked at GM in Pontiac MI.

Wouldn't restaurants be selling at a loss?

Fastfood places are starting to jump on the faux meat trend. Although some of them fix it on the same grill as their meat, which a lot of vegans aren't happy about.

Yeah, whodathunkit. Heck they didn't even have a salad at McDonalds. Three years back we found a Subway in Kalispell. I like Freshiis on the road too, but I see they just got bought out a week ago. Sometimes that can bring huge changes, not always positive ones. In driving through your neck of the woods we ate at a temple canteen.

They can buy very bulk, whereas an individual can't.

I did quote the right post and the question was relevant, but @Vinayaka answered it.
