The amount of money it takes to feed a family at a fast-food restaurant depends on the family. If you have a large brood of growing teens you could end up spending a small fortune to feed them, but if it’s just you, your spouse and your 4-year-old kid, you’ll come out a lot cheaper.

One thing all consumers have seen lately is a spike in the prices at fast-food joints. According to data from Stacker, prices at global fast-food leader McDonald’s have doubled since 2014, with an average price increase of 100% across various items.

Here are some other notable fast-food and fast-casual chains that have seen a spike in prices over the past decade, according to Stacker:

• Taco Bell: 81% average price increase. Among the biggest price jumps include the Doritos Locos Taco, which went from an average price of $1.39 in 2014 to $2.59 in 2024 (+86%); and the Cheesy Gordita Crunch, which has doubled in price from $2.49 in 2014 to $4.99 today.
• Chipotle: 75% average price increase. In 2014, the chain’s burrito, bowl, or tacos sold for less than $6.75 on average. Those same meals today cost an average of $10.50 or more
• Starbucks: 31% average price increase. Price hikes include 30%-plus increases in the average prices of the Chai Tea Latte  and Mocha Frappuccino.

If you need to feed a family instead of just yourself, you’ll be hard pressed to spend less than $20 no matter where you go. An analysis conducted by U.S. News & World Report looked at the average 2023 prices for popular items at fast-food chains.
