You’re probably paying about twice what you paid in 2014 for a standard fast-food combo meal. These maps and charts show how it looks at popular chains across the nation.
Across the nation families looking for a quick option to feed the family have seen prices rise as inflation has taken a bite out of the fast-food experience.
