introducing mcdonald's new one two three dollar menu i'll have the my office is full
of klepto's meal please fast food is known for being fast and cheap and while the speed
may stay the same the prices unfortunately will not here are 10 iconic fast food items
getting more expensive this year the whopper apparently marvin not only told us but fed us
a whopper this one is a whopper for sure not only is the whopper burger king's signature burger it's
also one of the most famous fast food hamburgers of all time if you haven't put on that cardboard
crown and sunk your teeth into a whopper lately then now is the time to do it because we have to
tell you that it's going to cost you more than it did last year if you're thinking that you don't
have to worry about the price because you always get it as part of the two for five dollars menu
well maybe you should sit down for this next part you're right for years now that two for five
dollars menu has been a godsend for whopper lovers everywhere because the only thing better than one
whopper is two of them for five bucks well two is better than one but that's all about to change
according to the company's recent fourth quarter earnings call they will be officially removing
that flame broil delight of a hamburger from the two for five dollars menu no longer will a
simple fiverr get you two whoppers soon all that five dollar bill will get you is one whopper and
if you want fries in a drink you'll need a couple of bucks more if you can still get two operas for
five bucks then do it because all signs point to you not being able to do it much longer
chipotle burritos and it sells burritos millions and millions of burritos there are a few things as
satisfying as a big burrito from chipotle filled with all of your favorite fixins it's large it's
filling and it's available for a good price well at least it used to be available for a good price
the good news for chipotle employees was the increase in the minimum wage they saw in 2021
however chipotle not wanting to give up any profits decided to counteract the increased wages
by increasing their prices by 4 that year they felt they had enough of a value proposition that
they could up their prices while not alienating customers saying that a chicken burrito totally
customized the way you want it is well below nine dollars in most parts of the country and
it's definitely below ten dollars everywhere and while that might have been true in 2021 there's
no guarantee it remains true in 2022 we have to spend more money on things we don't want in fact
when the new year hit so did another six percent increase in their prices and with the announcement
that there are probably more increases to come the odds seem good that a fully customized burrito
will hit that double digit price sometime in 2022. we aren't saying that there still
won't be good value there but that ten dollar price point might be the deal breaker for some
big mac fries and soda hamburger and french fries and a coca-cola that'd be 35 cents please
the house that ronald built is the biggest and most popular fast food franchise in the world
and their big mac and french fries are two of the main reasons why they are iconic and
delicious and they've generally been a lesser hit on the pocketbook than many other options
and while they were still affordable in 2021 they weren't as affordable as they used to be with the
six percent hike in prices mcdonald's initiated that year and if you thought that these new prices
were here to stay it would appear that isn't the case on a recent earning call the company looked
forward to 2022 and discussed the probability that prices would continue to go up this year as well
and not just on the food items the wall street journal reported that the head office has given
franchisees the ok on rising the price of soda as well so while we've all become used to getting
a soda for a dollar for years now that is changing you can pay more i can't pay more
you might need to add a little something to that buck if you want a soda for mcdonald's in 2022.
this also means the prices of combos will also go up hot and ready pizza what about the me little
caesar pizza pizza besides the little caesar guy saying pizza pizza there might not be anything
people associate more with the chain than their five dollar hot and ready pie for 25 years you
could walk into a little caesars restaurant and get a hot and ready pizza pie for 5 bucks but as
we all know good things don't last forever in january of 2022 little caesars announced that
they would be upping the price for their hot and ready pizza no longer would a 5 bill get the job
done now you will need to add 55 cents to that bill in order to walk out of the restaurant with
your favorite pizza and while we appreciate their adherence to the number 5 with the addition of 55
cents to the price there is something we don't quite understand when it comes to this price
increase why along with announcing the cost hike the company also announced that they'd
be adding 33 percent more pepperoni to the pizza as well now while we don't know the numbers we
do wonder if they could have foregone the added pepperoni and just kept the price at five dollars
starbucks drinks okay i heard starbucks no you didn't nobody said stop starbucks has never
been cheap in fact their high prices have been a source for customer complaints and stand-up comic
jokes for decades now but that hasn't stopped us from eating and drinking there either because
let's face it our day hasn't really officially started until we've had that first sip of our
double vanilla macchiato with oat milk cinnamon and whipped cream and for all you other starbucks
fanatics out there you're probably aware that your go-to drink has gotten even more expensive
over the last year with two price increases one in 2021 and one more in january of 2022 but lest you
think the increases were over you should probably know that they aren't we hate to be the bearers of
bad news but starbucks in their drive to deliver better profit margins have talked about making
another round of price increases this year here we go profit profit profit while paying more always
sucks this announcement hits harder given the fact that starbucks also announced that profits
were up 31 for the most recent quarter feels a little greedy to us and we aren't the only ones
following the announcement starbucks saw a barrage of unhappy folks on social media commenting about
the perceived greed there were even those who declared themselves done with starbucks
for good an idea that has us getting caffeine withdrawal shakes just by thinking about it
krispy kreme donuts this is a krispy kreme krispy kreme who cares about the extra calories when it
comes to donuts we aren't eating them for their calories we're eating them because they taste
so good and there are few donuts that taste as good as the ones you get at krispy kreme
however while we couldn't care less about the calorie intake of a krispy kreme donut
the outtake of cash from our wallets is something we care about greatly and we assume many others
do as well which is why we probably weren't alone in shedding a tier when the company raised their
prices in 2021 and while fans of the delicious donuts probably decided to grin and bear it
we aren't sure if the next price hike won't finally get them to get their donut fix elsewhere
and yes another price hike is most probably coming when exactly we don't know but it has been
reported that the company does plan on upping the cost of their offerings this year as well
how much will cost how much more will it cost us we don't know but it seems that unfortunately
inflation hasn't spared the donut as many of us hoped it would given how hard they are to resist
domino's chicken wings these chicken wings or angel wings god i love these things for some
people it's almost impossible to order a domino's pizza without also getting an order of chicken
wings on the side like peanut butter and chocolate few things go as well together as pizza and wings
however while we don't know if the price of a reese's peanut butter cup has gone up we do know
that getting your domino's pizza and chicken wings is costing you more in 2022 than it did before
well actually that isn't technically true it's costing you the same you're just getting less for
the money allow us to explain so whereas before domino's was offering up 10 chicken wings for 7.99
in 2022 the price stayed the same but the order now only comes with eight wings making each wing
more expensive in the end also if you're used to walking into your local domino's franchise and
placing your order you should know that the chicken wings won't be available to you i'd
like domino's chicken wings please we don't sell those along with the decrease from 10 to 8 wings
the company also made them exclusive to folks ordering online or via their app online and
app orders require less people to fulfill them which is why fast food restaurants will make
certain items or specials only available to those ordering it in that manner and with dominoes the
chicken wings have become one of those such things everything at taco bell you bought us taco bell
for years taco bell has been encouraging us all to live moss which translates to live more and well
it looks like they're taking their own advice at least when it comes to the more part and as some
of you may have noticed already in order to live moss these days it's going to cost moss as well
that's right to think outside the bun these days you're going to be shelling out 10
more moolah than you were previously the good news is that given how relatively inexpensive
taco bell was before ten percent more doesn't make it that hard to continue enjoying their food as
much as you do already obviously even a few bucks more each visit adds up especially these days
when everything is going up in price and i can't afford it but with that being said a real world
example of the price hike puts a burrito supreme crunchy taco and large drink combo at about 6 39
as opposed to the previous 5.79 as long as they don't go ahead and raise the prices again soon
that 10 increase seems like something most people are willing to accept if it means we can still
stuff our faces with burritos tacos and all the other delicious menu items they offer basically
we're saying that an extra 60 cents won't keep us from running for the border cheesecake that's why
i work at the cheesecake factory i'm holding out for the right part yes we're talking about
the cheesecake factory and it isn't just the cheesecake that is getting more expensive
back in february the company announced that they were increasing menu prices by 3.25 percent which
brought their year-over-year menu pricing increase total to 4.75 the good news is that the franchise
has always been good about giving us value for our money with the crazy serving sizes so a minimal
price increase doesn't seem too bad although we do wonder what sheldon cooper and the big bang gang
would have done had the prices gone up when they were regulars at their local cheesecake factory
would sheldon have made them find another place for his regular tuesday night hamburger can't
we just go to big boy they only have one burger although one reason for the increase according
to the company is an increase in labor cost which means penny would have been making more money too
maybe she wouldn't have had to borrow money from sheldon to pay her rent that time but big bang
theorizing aside we do also have to note that the cheesecake factory is expected to go through
another round of price hikes this year at this point there's no information as to exactly when or
by how much though dunkin coffee that's good for five bucks at dunkin donuts duncan took the donuts
out of their name a while back in recognition that they were more than just a donut shop
and that's true many people actually love their coffee and it has long held a special place in
our caffeinated hearts for its price point which falls in the middle of the expensive starbucks and
the cheaper mcdonald's however that middle ground looks to be shifting back at the beginning of 2022
the chain hiked their prices and caused a bit of an outrage amongst their loyal fans
reddit and social media were home to many posts regarding the new prices and the disappointment
was palpable as people were noticing the new rates at different locations around the country
and it wasn't just the coffee that got more expensive everything is either too expensive
or just horrible some locations got rid of various deals like two dollar medium latte deals after 2pm
and other customers noted the disappearance of two for two deals on egg and cheese wraps
with one wrap now going for four dollars now some folks did point out that even with the
price increases duncan was still cheaper than some other places order up more great videos
