    The other day I was appalled to find out that my local taco bell carried Meximelts for $1.39. I can remember just a few years ago when they were as low as .79 (but more commonly .99). I also noticed that chicken soft tacos were $1.89 (when I remember last buying them for $1.39).

    What instances of fast food inflation have you noticed recently.

    I noticed the same thing...the #1 combo at Chick-Fil-A has been $5.19 for the longest time. Just recently it went up to $5.39.

    The Whopper used to be 99 cents for like 8 years but now they're over 2 bucks. Even the Whopper Jr. is $1.29. The economy changes, it happens.

    If Jack in the Box raises its price on 2 tacos, the ensuing bedlam will make Peak Oil look like V-Day.

    You're not the only one brotha!

    I also remember not too long ago when a nugget meal at McD's was 3.99, now it is somewhere around the area of 4.29.

    I wouldn't argue against that at all. The lady at "Quick Chinese" knows my voice because I order from there so much.

    my father taught me an important tidbit of wisdom while driving by a taco bell once as a kid.

    he said: "son....never trust meat sold at $.49.
