How Much Is an Order of Chicken Wings Where You At?

Tree fitty.

 

Hey, I remember 50 cent wing specials in the early 2000s.  I remember in college getting a dozen delivered to my dorm for Monday Night Football for  ~$7.

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.

Well, like gas prices and everything else, consumers will be the last to see the savings.

This is what I have been waiting for.  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.

Same will happen with gas.  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.

Went to Millers Ale House today. A southern chain that migrated north. $17.49 for a dozen.

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.

It’s nigh on football season

But how much were you making an hour?  Like people complaining about gasoline.   Gasoline was $0.20/gallon in 1937.  Adjusted for inflation today, that's $4.11 a gallon. $0.19/gallon, just a penny less is: $3.91.

$15/hour in 2022 is $8.72 in Y2K, 2000.

So $13.45 USD for six wings, fries and a salad.

 

How were the wings??

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. 

[CountDorkula]

I just got a 10lb bag for $25 at a local meat market by my house.

 

They were really good wings too.

That's a bummer.  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.

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.
