It is “insane” over here in the Netherlands also;

• MC donalds “standard” menu; ±/ 15 Euros (used to be around 8-10 euros)
• Dominos Pizza medium “special”; 15+ Euros (used to be around 10 euros for the same pizza)

It’s already close to a price hike of 50+ percent.

Went out to dinner with a few friends to a Korean BBQ place; 40 euros for all you can eat per person. It was nice but the amount of food that one should eat to get to the 40 euro treshhold is insane. I think I ate for a maximum of 15 euros of food.

Other places also aggressively jacked up their prices for the exact same menu and quality (or lack of). I just cannot be arsed anymore to eat out.

The new fastfood prices are getting closer to the restaurant prices pre inflation. I don’t see any incentive to actually pay those prices for the lack of quality of the food.

I also see that the same fastfood chains ‘quietly’ implemented shrinkflation in regards of toppings or portion sizes so one gets screwed over double.

I liked to get some fastfood once or twice every 2 weeks, but I just cannot be bothered anymore.

the kicker is that for that 15 euros worth of fastfood I can get close to a weeks of selfcooked dinner.

I already see some grocery stores actually lowering the prices of certain items and aggressively put items on huge discounts.

Define “a few weeks”

The blackout started 12-06 which is 2 + weeks ago.

Lemmy and Kbin are still here and I see no sign of it slowing down. I see much more posts with more engagement which is a good thing.
