text: I was at the beach last week and a 4 ounce piece of fish with a few chips was $12.95, then $2.50 for a drink and then tax on top of this. I suspect this is where the economic growth is coming from. It is unsustainable in my opinion. Lunch for a family of 6 was $100. I think a lot of families will be packing their lunch from now on. You can buy a whole cooked chicken at Safeway for $12.
