    Speaking of McDonalds, our Steak and Shake finally opened back up! My dad and I went there the other day and got a double steakburger and fries each. That's two double steakburgers, and two fries for only $8. That's not too shabby, and the food was good, too. I missed them. They had been closed down for almost 3 years because of a health department violation. The new owners have turned the place around and it's practically spotless inside. I imagine they want to prevent what happened to the previous owners.

    Now if only our Rally's would do the same.

    I have a great way to save money on the egg muffins! We have a machine that makes them just as good if not better! So I get my fix and not have to spend so much. They are so easy to use and don't cost a lot. Really enjoy ours. In like 3 minutes it is all done and put together! Amazing...

    1. Everything's getting more expensive.
    2. Higher minimum wage, higher overhead. These people have to make a profit, after all.

    Let's see why prices go up

    1.>Poducer be that farming, mining, fisihing etc.. wants the highest price product
    2.>Workers for producers want the highest wage possible
    3.>Transporter from raw material site to production site wants the highest price possible.
    4.>Worker for transporter wants the highest wage possible
    5.>Manufacturing site wants the highest price possible for turning raw porduct(s) into final good
    6.>Transporter from manufacturing site to next site (If manufacturing go back to step 3) if distiburtion site go to step 7.
    7.>Transporter wants whighest price possible
    8.>Worker for transporter wants highest wage possible
    9.>Distiburtion site wants low price possible
    10.>Distiburtion site worker wants highest wage possible.
    11.>Transporter to final site wants highest wage possible
    12.>Worker at final site wants highest wage possible (if shop go to step 14)
    13.>Transporter from final site to final customer wants highest wage possible
    14.>Customer wants lowest price possible.

    And that's not inculuding price of fuel for all that transportation, property costs, power, telephone, advertising and of course all the workers for those companies want the highest wage possible

    Now of course other factors can impact prices such as war, crop failure, pandemics, suply chain disrubtion

    Decades ago there was a time when McDonald's actually raised the overall standard of fast food by insisting on using good-quality meat, so other fast food companies had to do the same to stay competitive.
