1. Is this your picture? If so, I love that you have a picture of a roll from 2013 😂

2. What a sad picture

3. Credit crunch lunch.

4. I remember back in 2009 the Centra by the Molly Malone statue did a chicken fillet roll for €1.99, those were the days.

   Edit: It was Maguires, not Centra.

5. Can’t wait to see this on lad Bible

6. The 7.45 was for the roll with a drink, not that it really matters.

7. I’m 99% confident that a chicken fillet roll and breakfast roll inflation index would mirror the construction industry output. The local garage is coining it in on builders breakfasts and lunches.

8. I remember this 😭😭😭

9. God I miss the 2 quid chicken fillet rolls back around 2010/2011. I was a student and they helped so much.

10. Maybe now they’ll do a feels like a recession roll

11. Nothing to do with inflation.

    This is supply and demand in action.

    When the economy is booming, the prices of these rolls skyrocket because there are more people out working looking for lunch. When things are quiet, the price plummets.

    I bet you could find an area of Ireland where the local economy is not experienced a boom and rolls would be cheaper.

12. You should have kept it and sold it on at a profit ten years later. That’s capitalism.

13. I think it fell as low as €1.59 in the Centra on Grafton Street

14. Cost cutters did a chicken fillet roll a pack of crisps and a can of Coke for like €3 back in the day.

15. Recession Busters and Fiver Fridays 😢
