    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 😭

          That just reminded me that one pizza place used to deliver $4 pizzas to the dorms back in the day. Damn those were good times.

        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.

        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
