Fast food fans are fuming over inflation after a Chipotle customer uncovered a receipt from July 2015, showing how much the chain’s prices have changed in just a decade.
“Found a receipt under my dishwasher from exactly 10 years ago,” the Chicago resident wrote on a recent Reddit post.
A faded Chipotle receipt from 2015 showing the prices of a chicken bowl and chicken burrito. It showed that he spent $21.45 before tax on two chicken bowls and one chicken burrito with guacamole. The itemized receipt revealed that the bowls and the burritos each cost $6.50, while a side of guac was $1.95.

A chicken bowl now costs $9.35, while a chicken burrito is the same price. A side of guacamole is currently $2.75.
Thus, the order that cost $21.45 in July 2015 would cost $30.80 today, before tax — an increase of 43.58%.
The Redditor claimed that those costs were “about CPI” — a reference to the Consumer Price Index, which measures the change over time in the prices paid for goods and services.

“$11 difference is crazy,” one wrote. “Ugh take me back to 2015.”
“2 bowls and a burrito for THAT price!?” another exclaimed. “Where has the time gone haha. Have I been so conditioned to accept this inflation that I can’t even remember how cheap stuff was just 10 years ago!!??!!??”
“I miss when it didn’t cost $20 per person for a meal,” another nostalgically noted.
While fast food is now more expensive than ever across the US, different places pay different prices for the same items.
