Chipotle customer uncovers receipt from 2015 — here's how much prices have changed in a decade
Fast food fans are fuming over inflation after a Chipotle customer uncovered a receipt from July 2015, showing how much the chain's prices have changed in just a decade.

It showed that he spent $21.45 before tax on two chicken bowls and one chicken burrito with guacamole. The itemized receipt revealed that the bowls and the burritos each cost $6.50, while a side of guac was $1.95.
Reddit users were quick to calculate how much the same order would amount to today, with one person using an online ordering system at the same location for a fair and accurate breakdown.
A chicken bowl now costs $9.35, while a chicken burrito is the same price. A side of guacamole is currently $2.75.
Thus, the order that cost $21.45 in July 2015 would cost $30.80 today, before tax — an increase of 43.58%.
The Redditor claimed that those costs were 'about CPI' — a reference to the Consumer Price Index, which measures the change over time in the prices paid for goods and services.

However, most viewers were angered by the cost of living in 2025.
'$11 difference is crazy,' one wrote. 'Ugh take me back to 2015.'
'2 bowls and a burrito for THAT price!?' another exclaimed. 'Where has the time gone haha. Have I been so conditioned to accept this inflation that I can't even remember how cheap stuff was just 10 years ago!!??!!??'
'I miss when it didn't cost $20 per person for a meal,' another nostalgically noted.
While fast food is now more expensive than ever across the US, different places pay different prices for the same items.

UK foreign secretary visits Syria, renewing ties after 14 years of conflict
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — British Foreign Secretary David Lammy met in Damascus on Saturday with Syria's interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa, marking the restoration of relations after 14 years of tension during Syria's conflict and Assad family rule. Syria has been improving relations with Western countries following the fall of President Bashar Assad in December in an offensive led by al-Sharaa's Hayat Tahrir al-Sham Islamist group. Al-Sharaa's office said Lammy and the president discussed mutual relations and ways of boosting cooperation and the latest regional and international developments. Lammy later met his Syrian counterpart, Asaad al-Shibani, state media reported. A statement issued by Britain's foreign office said the visit showed London's commitment to support Syria as the new government seeks to rebuild the country's economy, deliver an inclusive political transition and forge a path to justice for the victims of the Assad government. It added that there will be new U.K. funding to assist with the removal of Assad-era chemical weapons and provide urgent humanitarian assistance in Syria, to bolster U.K. and Middle East security and tackle irregular migration. The statement said the British government wants to ensure that the Islamic State group's territorial defeat 'endures, and they can never resurge.' IS once controlled large parts of Syria and Iraq, where it planned attacks worldwide. It was defeated in Syria in March 2019 when the extremists lost the last sliver of land they once controlled. The statement said Britain's support for Syria is set to continue, with the additional 94.5 million pounds ($129 million) package announced Saturday. It will provide urgent humanitarian aid to Syrians, support Syria's longer-term recovery through education and livelihoods, and support countries hosting Syrian refugees in the region. In April, the British government lifted sanctions against a dozen Syrian entities, including government departments and media outlets, to help the country rebuild after Assad's ouster. Weeks earlier, the U.K. had dropped sanctions against two dozen Syrian businesses, mostly banks and oil companies. Earlier this week, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending many American economic sanctions on Syria, following through on a promise he made to al-Sharaa. Syria's new leaders have been struggling to rebuild the country's decimated economy and infrastructure after nearly 14 years of civil war that has killed half a million people. In recent months, al-Sharaa visited oil-rich regional countries and France in May in his first visit to the Europe Union. Also on Saturday, Lammy met in Beirut with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and they discussed the situation along the Lebanon-Israel border following the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war. A statement issued by Aoun's office, quoted the Lebanese leader as telling Lammy that Beirut plans to raise the number of Lebanese troops along the border with Israel to 10,000. Aoun added that the only armed sides on the Lebanese side of the border will be Lebanon's national army and U.N. peacekeepers. ___ Mroue reported from Beirut.

OPEC+ to boost oil production by 548,000 barrels per day in August
NEW YORK (AP) — Eight members of the OPEC+ alliance of oil exporting countries say they will boost production by 548,000 barrels per day in August in a move that could further reduce gas prices this year. The group that includes Saudi Arabia and Russia made the decision at a virtual meeting Saturday. They cited a 'steady global economic outlook' and low oil inventories. Oil prices spiked sharply last month during the bloody, 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran but then tumbled back down as the U.S. helped broker a peace deal after dropping bombs on three of Iran's key nuclear sites. Saudi Arabia holds significant influence in OPEC+ as the dominant member of the OPEC producers' cartel, and Russia is the leading non-OPEC member in the 22-country alliance. Along with Saudi Arabia and Russia, the group that met Saturday is made up of Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman. A statement said the new measures were in accordance with a December decision to put off increasing production at that time, but gradually increase it by 2.2 million barrels per day over an 18-month period starting in April and ending in fall 2026. The delayed ramp up reflected weaker-than-expected demand and competing production from non-allied countries.
