TesterJ,

I’m still surprised every time I go into a Subway and the footlongs don’t cost $5. Now they cost $12.

metaStatic,

No, They cost $20. You're saving $8.

cm0002,

You gotta have the buy one get one coupons they always mail out, then it comes to about 6$ each, not 5 but better than 12 at least lmao

TesterJ,

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.

RIP McDonalds' dollar menu. Little Caesars' $5 Hot 'n' Ready. Arby's 5 for $5 roast beefs (and potato cakes).

son_named_bort,

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.

Klystron,

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 😭

I've been dipping my toes back into the football waters lately precisely because I've missed that.

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.

Steve,

RIP dollar tree

Bye,

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

Buy shit or you'll ruin the economy!

kurwa,

Don’t remember the last time I actually bought anything on black Friday.

Serinus,

They make special TVs with fewer features (such as no audio out) specifically for Black Friday specials.

Fester,

Always check model numbers against what you think you’re buying. Sometimes they use the same number with a slight change, like a few numbers or letters added to it. If it’s different, that’s the Black Friday version with extra-cheap capacitors and last year’s recycled panel.

DavidGarcia,

isn’t inflation a wonderful invention? keeps the economy growing. aren’t we lucky to have such benevolent owners?

If we didn’t introduce new currency into the economy the hoarders owners would have all of the wealth. There wouldn’t be money to pay people because you get paid less than the owner takes in, eventually they’d end up with literally everything. Of course they’re trying that now anyway, but still, odd as it is to say, we need inflation.

That's just FIAT money in action.

I never liked those Italian cars. I don’t know why we use their money, too…

wholeofthemoon,

Inflation is a feature not a bug 😉

We hit the point where the dollar is worth almost exactly half of what it was when I first started working in the mid 90s. It’s helped to reground my price expectations.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

I worked at Walmart and vividly remember seeing the black Friday magazines showing stuff on sake for ehat it cost just a few months ago

expatriado,

got to summon the camel three times

metaStatic,

mfw corps raise prices for the bare minimum time to legally call the subsequent discount a discount and people buy at the inflated price anyway.

solarvector,

That’s just black Friday

joyjoy,

Nintendo games will always be $70
