Restaurant meals have skyrocketed in the past few years. Used to go out to eat / order dinner every night since I was working wild hours and could afford it. Now going out for food results in a check of at least $50 whereas in the past it’d be more around $30 for a sitdown meal or pickup order.
Been eating out a lot less (once a week) and spending almost 50% more on food as to what I used to in 2018/19.
Virginia has some interesting laws that kick into effect then. Google “Virginia Rule '34” for more info
