> Okay, it's a McDouble or McChicken, small Fries, 4pc nuggets, and a small drink. > ...before COVID, I could probably get all of that under 5$. McDouble and McChicken was $1.19. I believe small fries was $.89, and 4pc nuggets was probably $1 to $1.19 and drink (any size) was $1. If that's right, that was ~$5.30. With cumulative inflation being at least 20-25%, it makes sense that this tracks that inflation value, but by "shrinkflation". You lose one item for the same price, and must get a small drink instead of any size. So now it's 20%+ less food for the same money
