I will only get something to eat out maybe once a week now. I think it's a combination of people willing to pay higher prices during covid to keep places in business, the loss of our energy independence which ran up the price of oil/gas and therefore the cost to get goods to the stores, and a lot of places are increasing their prices just to see how far they can push it and still get people to pay. I was at the watering hole yesterday and it must have been payday for a lot of people. The $7-9 beers were flowing and the $13-20 appetizers were non stop! Of course 90% of the people put it on their credit cards so they won't realize how much they spent until next month.
