Replying to Everyone living in the west(colorado, utah, etc.) but from the east/midwest

so i used to live in wisconsin, but i moved to salt lake city.  Ive noticed that fast food prices are a lot more out here.  I recently took a trip to a-basin, and i ate at a nice wendy's.  Normally, they have the 99 cent menu, but no, just like in slc, its a $1.29 menu.   Ive also noticed maybe not in colorado, but deffinitly in slc, that taco bell is mad expensive.  Back in wisco you could get a meal for like 5 bucks, but out here you get the same for like 7, and i think thats strangly outrageous.  anyone else feel the same way or noticed this?
