Holy expensive Dunkin' Donuts!

I went into Dunkin Donuts with the idea of doing something "nice" for my co-workers; bringing in an afternoon treat of munchkins or something. Not taking note of the price and having the lady load up a box of 25, I gasped when she said almost six bucks!!Chat Icon

Ah well, good intentions went right out the window and I'm taking those babies back to my OWN family tonightChat Icon

Am I a total creep for NOT giving them to intended? (No one knew I was going to get them).

I can't stand their lattes. They taste so watered down. I said this in the Starbucks thread a few weeks ago.

Not only do DD lattes taste bad, they are just as expensive as Starbucks lattes which are so much better tasting.

Re: Holy expensive Dunkin' Donuts!

Bagel prices soared because of the price of cream cheese.

My local bagel shop raised their prices of bagels slightly. But the price of a bagel with cream chese is up almost a dollar.

I normally don't buy baked goods too often because I can't eat them without viscious side effects, but I was floored! Maybe my perception of things is skewed but the price of living is completely out of control. Between gas, utilities, food, etc., it's nuts! Didn't help that I got a pretty crap raise today AND got screwed out of my bonusChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

You are lucky!! 1 dozen donuts at DD costs $8 here in Texas. Chat Icon Chat Icon Each individual franchise sets their own prices and because there are only 2 in the entire DFW metroplex.
