As an occasional treat, my wife and I buy 6″ chili cheese coney’s from our local Sonic Drive In.
Four years ago, each one cost $1.99. Today, the price is $2.99. That is a 50% increase in price. A Whataburger has had similar price increases. Consumer inflation is not a 3% as is reported by the current administration. Gasoline has doubled in price as well. I guess those who calculate the inflation rate don’t eat or drive their cars. Just sayin’.
