Have you gone out to eat lately?

Whether it's a nice locally-owned restaurant, a chain restaurant, or a fast food restaurant, it's going to cost you more that it did a year ago.

Prices in the supermarket continue to go up.

Can you go to the store for "a few things" and manage to get out of there for less than $100?

Pizza Hut

 

The Pizza Hut chain has been around for a long time. Pizza Hut was founded in the late 1950s!

For a long time Pizza Hut used to have a popular pizza buffet. You may still find a random Pizza Hut that has a buffet, but they seem to be few and far between.

In 1990 Pizza Hut had a $3,99 pizza and pasta buffet - and, only $1.99 for kids!

C'mon Pizza Hut and Wendy's - bring `em back!
