If you want to know what inflation is doing to prices of everyday goods all across America- look no further than the classic American breakfast. Check out how the price of a "Grand Slam Breakfast" at Denny's has gone up in just the last few years.

David Urban shared this via X.com earlier this week: "In 1977, @DennysDiner introduced their #GrandSlam breakfast honoring #HankAaron - price was $1.99 - it went up $4 over the next 43 years - in just the 4 years of Biden/Harris, it has gone up a staggering $7 from $5.99 to $12.99! #inflationsucks #Bidenomics #Trump2024Vance"

First off, that is a very cool piece of history on how Denny's started the Grand Slam Breakfast in tribute to the great Hank Aaron.

I haven't confirmed the numbers shared by David Urban above, and I noticed that Fox Business published another story this week about how "The Lumberjack" breakfast prices have also spiked. Fox Business did not get a response from Denny's. I looked up the cost a Grand Slam Breakfast from the Denny's menu that came up for me in Billings, Montana would cost and it was listed at $12.99 without any extras.

In defense of Denny's, let's be honest $12.99 is a great deal for breakfast anymore given all of the inflation that has occurred in the last three years alone. We did one of our events paid for by Americans for Prosperity-Montana in Miles City at a cafe on Main Street Friday morning, and I was amazed that you can get a great meal at The Main Street Grind for about $10.

The fact is, all of these restaurants are getting hammered by higher prices, and if they want to keep their doors open, they need to sometimes raise prices themselves.

In fact, as we shared earlier this week: "Earlier this year, Denny's shut down 57 locations due to underperformance. Now comes word that even more have bit the dust."
