    I went to Niagara falls the other day and they were selling $10 pizza slices, my wife got one. I went to the grocery store across the street, bought a large roll from the fresh baked ones. Got cheese ends and ham ends at the deli aisle, and grabbed salad cup. It cost me about $8 but I got a much better, massive sandwich compared to what my wife ate.

            That’s a great idea and I would like to see it here, but America has no real laws preventing billions of dollars of food waste, so companies never do anything like this.

              Shoprite here in Pennsylvania does that all the time. TBF the shit is nasty and still costs about as much per pound as proper deli meats and cheeses.

      We were at Niagara Falls earlier this year and we did the same thing. Food prices there are insane.

      Tourist hot spots are insane. I was having a cup of coffee in a small cafe at St. Mark’s Square in Venice and it was 6.50€ for the coffee and a 12€ cover charge. Rip-off.

      $10 for a slice of pizza? And you paid it? What in the world? No wonder food prices keep going up.
