Things that used to be cheap eats but no longer are

Wings used to be cheap bar food. Now it’s like a delicacy. Prices are at a premium for them. During Covid I can understand due to labor force, but now? Just seems like why lower the price of the customer is used to paying it.
Pho - A Vietnamese friend said that any place charging more than $7-8 for a bowl of Pho is robbing you. Most pho places now charge $12-$15 for a bowl of Pho.
shite is ridiculous. The days of cheap eats are over.

I feel like wings went back down a bit after they went up. Still not what they were but they did coke back down.
Those cheap cuts of meat like flank and hanger steak. Used to be such a cheap hidden gem.

Brisket...hell...bbq in general used to be very reasonably priced. I went to Terry Black's a few months ago and got a brisket plate with 2 sides, no drink, and it was $20ish.

yup. what was born in the basis of the cheapest of eats has become stupid in pricing. 20-30 dollars for 2 smalls strips of brisket, and a quarter rack of ribs with some sides isnt abnormal.

Definitely- We used to have brisket all the time because it was a cheap meal for a large family (6 of us), and it provided some leftovers. I swear that trimmed briskets used to be about $1-1.50/lb. I was at the store today and got excited that packer briskets are on sale this week for 'only' $2.49/lb. I'm going to go back and get one before they go back up to $5/lb next week.

I was going to list bbq as well. While never cheap, it didn’t run you 20-30 a plate

Hell you got a deal
I think it was $30ish/lb for brisket when I went back in October.

Yep. They are close to $2 each at some places. That’s ridiculous. You can get a whole chicken for $8.

Mexican food in general used to be cheap.

Brisket is no easy cook, and not cheap, so I want to know who the heck is buying all these briskets from Sam's in Ellick?

Boneless, skinless thighs haven't so much exploded in price (though they have gone up quite a bit) as they are much harder to find in stock.

I don't think there is a better example than donuts.

Brisket, I used to smoke about 4 a year. Was at Costco today they had a few Prime Briskets, seems like they disappeared for a while. It was $5/ LB, so a 14lber was $70. By the time I trim it and the yield after smoking it is more like $10/lb. I grabbed some Spares for $2.99/lb instead.

hmmm. not sure there is enough space on the server to list them all.
I would have to say just about any Fast Food. Not cheap and marginally fast.
