A basic twin patty cheeseburger is $.99 at Burger King today -- at least around here. That's cheaper than in 1990.
Umm... The value of the US Dollar is in freefall due the the effects of Fed Policies like Quantitative easing. Ammo costs more for the same reason that gasoline and groceries and clothing costs more. It's an effect of "stimulative" monetary policy.
It's sad that all Americans don't already know this.
You're absolutely right. When I gave up drinking soda I started to bring in my water bottle without really thinking about it as so many people carry them around these days. No problem. I had never considered the cost savings until then.They make their money on soda and fries

Not really. Burger King's double cheese isn't all that small. It wasn't too many years ago when they stopped offering a Whopper (one patty, no cheese) for $.99/each.Actually I remember a burger joint back around then called "Hot n' Now" that sold burgers for $0.49. They were small, but that's kinda the point - most of the places now selling $1 value burgers make them far smaller than anything you used to be able to buy at those places in years past.
Ammo jumped due to a spike in demand. As the OP noted maybe things are starting to free-up just a bit.Ammunition has outplaced inflation if you start counting at 2000-2005, or something like that. But I'll bet that if you go back decades and compare to now it will be much more reasonable. Kinda like gasoline
