Arctic Circle weren't too expensive, like may $5 for a large. I feel like they were the first to go up. I went to JCWs a few years ago (I don't remember how many years exactly) and the shakes were suddenly about $8 or something. Even the employee was shocked, saying "this wasn't the price just a few days ago, it just went up". It seems to me that in years past, Arctic Circle was a cheaper alternative to Iceberg, and although they do still have more cheap options (and lots of coupons) their other stuff is right up there with Iceberg. Maybe I'm remembering Iceberg being more expensive than it actually is/was, though.
