I don’t know what’s sadder the giant Safeway sandwiches going from $9.99 to $13.99 or my mortgage about to go up like 200 goddamn dollars…

expatriado ,

escrow went up that much?

Yes, your escrow can go up that much if your property tax, school tax, or in some cases insurance had a sudden jump in value or changes in what can be claimed. It varies by area and loan, but isn’t unheard of.

expatriado ,

interesting, based on Zillow info my house doubled in price in the last 5 years, but my escrow only went up $20 in that time, mostly insurance, don’t tell my county tho 😂

grue ,

My mortgage has gone up like $300 in the last 14 years due to taxes & insurance… but if I were still a renter it’d have gone up by $1000 (or more?) so I’m not complaining.

Mongostein ,

You should complain. We’re all getting ripped off.

grue ,

I mean, my house value quadrupled during that time, so it’s kinda fair that I’m paying more property taxes. As for the insurance… I gotta admit I haven’t paid much attention.

ChapulinColorado ,

Unless you are selling the house (which still means you have to buy another one…) it’s paying for unrealized gains which the rich fucks making the rules tell us is so unfair whaaaa whaaaa whaaa (insert child crying noises here)

CaptPretentious ,

My car insurance has doubled in less than 8 years. But don’t worry, it has less coverage too! Oh, but I’ll get a teeny tiny discount if I let them install a lowjack!

doctordevice ,

My car insurance went up like 20% from last year to this year. Exact same shitty “coverage” as before.

ChapulinColorado ,

The saddest part is the beefy 5 layer burrito being what people that worked at Taco Bell would order and ask for it grilled for a reasonable cheap meal to now resulting in “WTF is there any ground beef here? WTF is there real cheese? Are these ‘beans’ safe to consume?”

Edit: my friend who previously worked there when in college asked if it was even beans on the thing…

Is that a delivery service’s marked up price? Their site has them for much less.

Could be down to their location. I mocked my gps to a place i guessed would be expensive (Long Beach CA) and got this https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/6c165e7b-d4aa-467a-b57b-350b6fe25b15.png

Nanaimo BC, Canada… price is in CAD. That converts to $3.32 USD

I must say I am shocked that our prices are on par with or lower than anywhere in the US. I mean the conversion rate on the California price is insane in CAD:

Alexstarfire ,

I can get that as part of the build your own craving box for $6.

Crunchwrap, this, potatoes, and a drink for $6.

terry_jerry ,

That price held untill atleast 2012, that’s a solid 5 dollars of increase in just over 10 years. I could totally be talking out my ass

ThirdWorldOrder ,

Had to AI this one.

The Beefy 5-Layer Burrito at Taco Bell was introduced as part of the company’s “Why Pay More?” value menu in 2010, priced at 89 cents. Over time, like many fast-food items, the price of the Beefy 5-Layer Burrito increased due to inflation, rising food costs, and other economic factors.

The exact timing of each price change can vary by location and market, but in general, the price increased gradually over the years. By the mid-2010s, the price had risen to over a dollar, and by the late 2010s and early 2020s, the price could be found in the range of $1.50 to $2.00 or more, depending on the region and promotions.

_sideffect ,

Lmao, yeah… I doubt that was from 2010 😂

ThirdWorldOrder ,

Well… it was released in 2010 so I don’t know what you want me to tell you lol

Please_Do_Not ,

Yes, trust AI, that’s what Ryan Gosling looked like 14 years ago.

Lemmeenym ,

It has to be the early 90’s, he was born in 1980 and looked like this in 1998.

Everyone shitting on you but your AI is right. It was about 9 months or so it lasted. I know because I took a course at the exact time and survived off those when I was broke as fuck. It doubled then like a year or two later had doubled again and that held until around Covid

ruckblack ,

Everyone’s shitting on him because people loathe lazy copy/paste paragraphs from chatGPT in their online discourse. Me included.

Imgonnatrythis ,

Beefy5 layer burrito has that effect.

Hopefully most of the price increase is tax related as a luxury food item and the money goes towards diabetes and obesity research. Right?

TheReturnOfPEB ,

What happened to the 7 layer ?

lightnsfw ,

I can get 2 for that around here.

Ephera ,

Man, I know US food is …something else, but still, what the hell is this thing?

Apparently, the 5 layers are:

  • Beef
  • Cheese
  • Beans
  • Nacho Cheese Sauce
  • Sour Cream

A.k.a. 5 times protein for no fucking reason. That’s going to taste like garbage, unless you make it entirely too greasy, too.

I guess, it being called “beefy”, that’s its whole gimmick, but that still doesn’t explain why it exists in the first place. When you could be eating something with a multitude of flavors, which doesn’t sit in your stomach like a brick either, why do you choose just a lump of meat?

heavy ,

Lol chill, it’s already billed as trash food, nobody sold it as caviar. If someone wants to eat like a raccoon, for the most part, it’s their God given right. No need to high horse it.

Unbecredible ,

…kinda but also wtf are you talking about? It’s Taco Bell, of course it’s going to be greasy as fuck and delicious.

Not delicious in the way of fresher more authentic Mexican food. Delicious in the way of Taco Bell.

At least it doesn’t look like it shrunk too.

It’s two separate pictures, silly.

Slovene ,

Well, he’s a big star now so that layer of his warm macho cheese is expensive.

numlok ,

Assuming this was around 1994, and adjusting for inflation, it should still be under $2. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/c02344c5-0798-45bb-8f67-fe533ff86001.jpeg

astanix ,

4.19 at my local tb, too damn expensive.
