Starting this week, a few portions are smaller and prices higher at Arby’s in the OK-KS-MO-AR region. Here’s the aftermath:

AuJus sauce (by itself, not with meal): from free to $.50
Sandwiches in “Pick 5 for 5.95 combos“: 2oz of sliced beef to 1.5 oz, 4″ bun to 3.5″ bun.
Sandwiches with cheese: $.10 increase

No word yet on whether this shrinking/price increase combo will spread to other regions.

One of the Arby’s employees we spoke to over the phone said the changes were necessary because of rising costs, “of oil and stuff.”
