The chicken bake and 20-ounce soda, which are two popular food court items, have both gone up in price.
The chicken bake now sells for $3.99, which is $1 more than what it was in June. The soda price jumped 10 cents and now sells for $0.69.
One untouchable item? The hot dog combo.
The price of the combo, and the famous $9.95 pizza, won't change, for now.
The spike in prices is reportedly a result of inflation as inflation on grocery stores hit 14.6%. Membership stores, like Costco, were able to keep inflation at 7%, according to Business Insider.
While you may have to see an extra dollar or ten cents go from your wallet, there is still hope for the $1.50 hot dog combo.
