No kidding! They were cheap to make and buy, and the longer you stayed to eat them, the more you spent on the high margin alcohol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything went price crazy over the last two years. So, when prices of product go back down, will those reductions be passed on to the consumer? I already know the answer.

When gas gets down to $3.99/gallon, we're all going to think that's cheap, when just a couple years ago, we were paying less than $3/gallon. I think $16 for 10 wings is generally going to remain the norm moving forward. Mind f*ckery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaoulDuke79 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Went to Millers Ale House today. A southern chain that migrated north. $17.49 for a dozen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Things Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 We just returned from a holiday in the Cook Islands. While on the island of Aitutaki, we went out to the Avatea Cafe, where they had Buffalo Wings on the menu for $22 (NZD) I couldn't believe they had them on the menu so I ordered some. 6 wings with fries and a salad. Not "Buffalo" seasoning but a garlic, sweet chili sauce. $22!!! The strange thing about it was that most of the other food was reasonably priced.

Adjusted for inflation today, that's $4.11 a gallon. $0.19/gallon, just a penny less is: $3.91. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com $15/hour in 2022 is $8.72 in Y2K, 2000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdmoreRyno Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Wings at BWW in Sherman, Texas are $14 for 10. And they are trash. I actually ordered wings from Chili's in Ada, Oklahoma a few months ago and almost threw up. Just can't get good wings around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountDorkula Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I just got a 10lb bag for $25 at a local meat market by my house. They were really good wings too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a couple local places who make decent wings; one of them (The Bullpen in Glens Falls, NY) makes wings that I consider the best I've had, other than Bar Bill. Last year, my girlfriend and I went to the Cheesecake Factory for a little bite to eat prior to attending a Joan Jett concert. On a whim, I decided to get their wings. They were surprisingly very, very good. If you have the opportunity in your area, I'd suggest giving them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember late 1980's, if you saw gas for over $1/gallon, you kept driving because someone was going to have it for under $1/gallon further down the road. I also remember spring 2001, gas in my area shot up to $1.45/gallon and people wondered how they were going to survive such a huge increase in price.
