Just finished my analysis (what else would I be doing at work on a Friday?), and if you were to buy one of everything (not including the unique offerings at the permanent locations like Joffrey's) you would spend approximately $130 less than last year.
I think much of this comes from the reduced size of some drinks, which now cost less because of that, and fewer offerings. Food price increases were not across the board, and were typically $0.25 to $0.50 per item. The oddballs were the salmon potato pancake in Scotland increasing $0.75 and the replacement items Smoked Beef Brisket in Hops & Barley, a $1.00 increase over the replaced item, and Pork Tenderloin at the Wine & Dine Studio, a $1.50 increase of its replaced item.
The monumental increases in cost came from alcoholic drinks. Being an optimist, I'm hoping this is because there was a monumental increase in quality.
And on that optimistic note, prices decreased for MMMhops, Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Rose, and Fielding Estate Red Conception. Other reduction were attributable to decreases in service size.
