These Fast Food Restaurants Hiked Their Prices the Most Last Year

The days of "fast food" being "cheap food" are long gone, and prices seem to always be increasing. We can blame that phenomenon on rising inflation, and while a trip to a McDonald's drive-thru is still cheaper than settling in for a meal at your favorite steakhouse, it's far from inexpensive. In fact, prices soared in 2024 as some of the most well-known fast food chains hiked prices to make our favorite treats more costly than ever. Not all fast food is created equal, and one restaurant has increased its prices more than others. In fact, it doubled its menu item prices in the last decade. According to a survey conducted by Lending Tree, which surveyed 2,000 Americans, 78% of participants say they now view fast food as a luxury rather than a way to get a quick and cheap bite to eat while on the go. The question is, will those fast food prices continue to rise into 2025? Here's everything to know about fast food inflation, including which chains hiked their prices up the most last year and what may be on the horizon. Fast food price increases undefined Fast Food Chain Item McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese Meal Four-piece McNugget Happy Meal Popeye's 4-piece Chicken Dinner Popeye's Popcorn Shrimp Combo Taco Bell's Beefy 5-Layer Burrito Taco Bell's Gordita Crunch Price increase between 2014 and 2024 122% increase 67% increase 97% increase 94% increase 132% increase 100% increase Source: FinanceBuzz What fast food chains have increased their prices the most in the past decade? In the last decade, McDonald's has increased its prices by a whopping 100% in the US, making it the most increased fast food chain in the country, according to information gathered by FinanceBuzz. But their menu prices aren't only increasing in the states. According to Spine Genie, McDonald's has increased their prices in Canada by nearly 140%. In the US, a quarter pounder with cheese meal cost $5.39 in 2014 and in 2024, it cost $12, FinanceBuzz reports. The second and third restaurants with the most inflated prices were Popeyes and Taco Bell in the US and Panera and Wendy's in Canada. At Popeyes in 2014, you could snag the four-piece chicken dinner for $7. By 2024, that price rose 97% and now costs $13.79. Taco Bell is one chain restaurant that inflated their prices the most in the past decade. Taco Bell These results slightly differ from 2022 when Wendy's and Chick-fil-a had the highest inflation rate and Burger King's chicken fries were the number one inflated menu item across all chains. According to LendingTree's new survey, 46% of participants said they now believe that prices at their local fast food restaurants are now in line with sit-down restaurants. Even more surprising is that 22% of those participants believe fast food was actually now higher priced in comparison. What causes fast food inflation? Inflation at fast food restaurants is a "multilayered phenomenon," Valerie Kilders, assistant professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Purdue University, told CNET. Kilders cited increased minimum wages for low-wage workers and the "increase of general food prices" as two large factors contributing to rising fast food prices. "Post pandemic, we saw that lowest wage workers, which include those that are typically working in fast food restaurants, saw the fastest growth in wages," Kilders explained, further adding that from January 2024 to January 2025 "cattle prices increased 20.6% and wholesale beef [increased] around 15%. Eggs are even up 183%, so we're seeing these big increases in just those two categories." "The increased prices for the operators are passed on to the consumers," she added. As egg prices continue to soar, economists point to bird flu as a contributor to the sky-high prices of eggs that we're seeing at grocery stores and on restaurant menus. This week, major US tariffs against Canada and Mexico went into effect under the Trump administration, and with them could come even more price hikes at the grocery store and beyond. Although President Donald Trump has stated that the country that imports the goods will pay the implemented tariffs, or the tax on the items, economists have disagreed. According to the Tax Foundation, when the US imposes tariffs, US businesses pay the tariff tax to the US government. Similarly to fast food chains, when the company does not pay the increased prices they are facing, those prices get passed on to the consumer. The 25% tariffs against Mexico and Canada began on March 4, and a previous 10% tariff on China has now doubled to 20%, according to the Associated Press. According to the US Department of Agriculture, in 2023, 72.5% of US agricultural imports came from Mexico. This included 25% of beverages, including beer and tequila, 14% of fruit, 13% of vegetables, 6% of avocados and more. USDA And 63.8% of the US's agricultural imports came from Canada, including 19% of animal products and 12% of fruit and vegetables. USDA According to EconoFact, the Trump administration's 2018 tariffs, which were then kept in place by the Biden administration, did not lower prices for Americans. Will prices continue to rise at fast food restaurants? "The short answer is, it's too soon to tell," Kilders said. However, she does say that it's not just fast food chains increasing their prices. It's happening everywhere. "If we look just generally at the increase [in the Consumer Price Index] for food away from home, that increase was about 3.4% over the last year, and there's not much of a difference between both full-service restaurants and limited-service restaurants," Kilder explained. Paul Weaver/SOPA Images/LightRocket/Getty Images While it may seem that McDonald's is hiking its prices more than the Olive Garden or Chili's, that's not necessarily the case. Rather, when a notoriously cheap fast food restaurant raises prices, it's always going to be more apparent to the consumer. As far as the future outlook on food prices, there are various factors that have to be taken into account. "How are labor costs going to develop? Are we going to see additional increases in food input prices? Are we going to see any kind of interventions on the policy level that might influence all those factors that play a big role in how demand is going to develop," Kilders said, "and then, consequently, how supply and prices are going to develop." According to the USDA's food price outlook, cited by Kilders, it is believed that consumption of food at home will increase around 3.3% over the next year, meaning that moreAmericans will opt to skip the drive through or sit-down restaurants and cook at home in an effort to save a few bucks Ways to save in 2025

Man duped by 'Jennifer Aniston' in 'deepfake' romance scam

Paul Davies from Southampton believed he was chatting to the Friends star. A devastated Friends superfan claims he was brutally scammed out of £200 by a fraudster posing as Jennifer Aniston. Paul Davies from Southampton believed he was chatting to the Rachel Green star on social media, before ' Jennifer ' asked him to hand over the cash so she could pay for her "Apple subscriptions" reports the Mirror. ‌ Paul claims he was bombarded with scarily realistic AI-generated videos and messages from supposed Hollywood stars, including fake clips of Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. ‌ The 43-year-old said ' Jen ' sent him her driving license as proof of her identity and he fell for it, not least because she told him she 'loved him'. Speaking to The Sun, he said: 'I've had fake videos from Jennifer Aniston saying she loves me and asking for £200. I believed it – and I paid.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The cruel scam saw him send £200 worth of non-refundable Apple gift cards to the alleged American sweetheart as Paul admitted: 'I got bitten. 'Once bitten, twice shy.' During their conversation on social media, ' Jennifer ' sent various sweet messages to Paul while also warning him not to contact Facebook because "you don't want problems". The twisted con is part of a worrying wave of deepfake, AI generated videos, which often forge someone's face, voice or entire likeness. ‌ Paul says he's been hounded by droves of deepfake videos, often claiming he's won a huge prize, endorsed by a fake celebrity. One video even showed a fake Zuckerberg declaring: 'This is not a scam - believe me' while flashing a phoney ID. 'They make it look so real,' Paul said. "It's been going on for five months. I thought someone would get in trouble for this, but they seem to be having a laugh – and getting away with it.' ‌ Paul, who admits his mental health has been affected by the scam, said he's sharing his story to protect others. It comes as another unsuspecting Facebook user was duped by a scammer pretending to be Brad Pitt. The con artist swindled a French woman out of nearly £700,000 by pretending to be the Fight Club star, despite actually living in Nigeria and never stepping foot in front of a camera. ‌ Interior designer Anne, 53, was tricked into funding a bogus cancer treatment for the so-called superstar after being sent AI-generated selfies and love messages. The sham romance dragged on for over a year, costing Anne her life savings, her marriage, and her mental health. Eventually a crack team discovered the scammer's identity, his Nigerian home, along with, sadly, 34 other victims.

US Immigration Budget Now Bigger Than Israel's Military Spending

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Senate has passed a bill making Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) the U.S.'s largest interior law enforcement agency with funding for Donald Trump's immigration enforcement agenda higher than most of the world's militaries, including Israel's. Pending its passage in the House of Representatives, Trump's bill could mean a massive increase in ICE funding as part of an immigration enforcement agenda worth $150 billion over four years. This image from June 12, 2025 shows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at Delaney Hall, a migrant detention facility, in Newark, New Jersey. This image from June 12, 2025 shows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at Delaney Hall, a migrant detention facility, in Newark, New It Matters If passed by Congress, Trump's 1000-page bill could reshape the U.S. immigration system with a significant increase in funding for expanding law enforcement and detention network while increasing costs to legally immigrate to the U.S. What To Know A revised version of Trump's bill was narrowly voted through the Senate on Tuesday. The estimated price tag of the legislation is around $150 billion between now and 2029—an annual average of $37.5 billion, which is higher than the military expenditure of all but 15 countries. This figure is more than the annual military budget of Italy, which at $30.8 billion, is the world's 16th highest defense spender for this year according to tracker Global Fire Power. It is also higher than military spending for Israel, ($30 billion), the Netherlands ($27 billion) and Brazil ($26.1 billion). Different news outlets have broken down in different ways. The National Immigration Law Center said that ICE's detention budget would increase to $45 billion to build immigration jails for single adults and families, a price tag 13 times more than ICE's 2024 detention budget. The bill also allocates $29.9 billion in additional funding for ICE activities, including hiring new agents and securing transportation contracts to move migrants between detention centers and facilitate deportations, according to Migrant Insider. Meanwhile an assessment by Detention Watch Network said the bill set aside $59 billion to militarize the border which included wall construction, CBP agents and vehicles, and border surveillance technology. It also said that there was $10 billion for grants to reimburse states who enact anti-immigrant policies and another $1 billion to the Department of Defense to deploy military personnel to the border and to detain migrants. What People Are Saying House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote on X that the bill "provides the ESSENTIAL funding needed to secure our nation's borders." Silky Shah, Executive Director of Detention Watch Network said in a statement: "This bill skyrockets ICE's budget to never before seen funding levels and will make it the largest law enforcement agency in the country." "ICE will now have 13 times its current fiscal budget for detention, which is already operating at a historic high, on top of the funding in ICE's annual budget that Congress sets each year." Adam Isacson, a researcher with human rights advocacy organization WOLA per the AP, "One thing about this bill, these sections are super no real specificity in the bill about how it's going to be spent." What Happens Next Trump's bill returns to the House of Representatives on Wednesday after a revised version was narrowly voted through the Senate on Tuesday. The president has set Congress a loose deadline of July 4 but further opposition is expected.
