McDonald's and Chipotle say customers are trading down, visiting less often as inflation hits budgets


So what are they eating? This is as cheap as it gets

@couch_investor right but just meaning in general grocery eating is cheaper than eating out…by a significant margin. I found a half-joking half-serious report a while back that analyzed cents per calorie and standardized it somehow across QSR restaurants against a generic grocery shopping list. Will see if I can find

@couch_investor people probably switching to cheaper alternate easy meals at grocery stores - $COST, ALDI, Market Basket, $WMT
