Vent: I wasted $60 buying lunch near my office for two weeks straight
For the past two weeks I grabbed lunch from the same sandwich place by my office in Denver because it was fast, and I did not look at the price until Friday. Turns out each combo was $14.50, so I burned about $145 when a taco cart two blocks over does a full plate for $7. The cashier even said their prices jumped in March and nobody at work mentioned it. That was the moment I realized I had stopped checking prices at all and just assumed "cheap" meant whatever felt normal. Does anyone keep a running list of spots that stayed under $10 after this year's price hikes?
