We go to a Jewish style deli/restaurant in an urban area about 35 minutes from where we live. It's a fairly large place and is always packed, especially at meal times and decently populated in between. I love their classic Rubin sandwiches. Years ago when I started going there, they were $8.99 for the sandwich with a side of potatoe salad. The current price for the same thing is $24.99. The sandwiches are the same but smaller now. I usually like to hit the bakery and bring home a chocolate echlair. They were $2.99 when I first started getting them, and now they are $8.99. Currently a lunch there costs us (wife & me) around $90+ with tip and a trip to the bakery. On top of that, the place is packed with oldsters like me. I always thought old people on a retired income had to watch their expenses, but maybe that's not all that true.
