- One McDonalds is selling a Big Mac for $18, leaving customers with sticker shock. Inflation has driven up prices for consumers, but will companies lower prices as things improve? Or are these higher costs here to stay?

Maybe people should stop eating the mess.
All that matters is no mean tweets. People need to stop complaining about the prices. This is what they wanted
whats stopping mcdonalds from raising prices when all the other small businesses are doing it....thinking it wouldn't lead to any consequences....if my grocery store near my house is selling their bagels for 5 dollars per....hey ill raise my items so that I can afford those bagels....its a domino effect...and it starts affect larger conglomerates. the WORST thing that has ever happened to this country was issuing unemployment benefits, rent moratoriums, and stimulus packages....that got the poor spending money they didn't have....it affected the automotive industry, real estate and it also affect supply chains....people were earning MORE than before with these checks and didn't return to work....skipped out on paying rent, stayed home to save money and started bidding on houses, and cars.....and look at the market today. ABSOLUTE DONKEY SHOW.....
or maybe democrats should mind their own business
My point being: I wish people would try to eat more healthy. It would benefit them now, and in the long run. Do it for yourselves and your families.
@@jinsu0504 Everything you said is exactly right! The covid money just taught poor people how to spend money they didn't have, and now they are using their credit cards to buy fast food because they don't like to cook. I predict housing to crash next because they spent the money on boats, vacations and new vehicles instead of paying their mortgage payments. What are banks going to do with all that inventory of repossessd homes. Domino effect. Next thing is we'll be told that we need to give people free homes along with free food.
No way on this earth will I pay that much for a Big Mac!
wait where on earth are they charging a big mac #1 meal for 18 dollars?! wtf? its less than 10 dollars......

Come to Canada, you wil...
Why? Because in the U.S corporate America can price Gauge All They Want.who cares about consumers.
Many healthier choices like stir fry made fresh. Look at these areas its Manhattan so yeah the prices are high just eat off the dollar menu.
The prices are doing you a favor. That food is pure garbage.
That’s disrespectful to garbage 😂
Just do what I do - STOP GOING THERE. You're welcome.
YUP!!!!! IF people got together and stopped for a couple of weeks they WOULD take notice, but THAT won't happen.
This is actually the only thing that will stop the prices from being jacked up, they charge more simply because people keep buying it.
Yep, easy fix!
I stopped going there years ago...best decision I ever made
Hahahahaha! Yeah.
We ate that crap because it was cheap and now it's not worth the money.
Do it yourself & save $ and your health.
👍 -Jennifer Dylans' mom ✌️😋
There is nothing on that menu that is worth $18!
You don't pay $18 for the meal, you pay 18 for the minimal wage rise.
It’s at a travel stop on a major highway.. they rip you off anyways
Soon they will have androids working there!@@ManuelMendez1
The McMuff furburger behind the counter, maybe😂
👍 -Jennifer Dylans' mom ✌️😋
BOYCOTT MACDONALDS
I am boycotting all fast food. Easier to make at home, especially with googling COPYCAT RECIPES for stuff.
Been boycotting nationally advertised burger joints for 15 years.
And every other fast food and regular sit down restaurant that is over priced which is basically all of them!
"MACDONALDS"😂😂😂
Girlcott maybe gender neutral non binary cott 😅😂
Popeyes is crazy expensive 34 dollars for a 24pc nugget with fries is wild
Try Raising Canes it’s good 👍
Rotisserie chicken for $8 at the super, lasted me 2 meals. Supply vs demand, it's the people's fault for supporting them fast food chains.
@@beelikemizu604 Costco $4.99 for a rotisserie chicken.
@@bryanjohnson5803 I gotta pay that California tax...
thank your president
Cook your own food -- it's always been more healthy and now it's more affordable, too!
Much easier said than done for some
@@advjoe2
Why is that?
@@Tinmania-m8uthere’s nothing hard about cooking at home. Folks are just lazy
@@miguelrobb5719True if you are talking about average salaried 9-5 worker. The lower class working poor who work 3 different jobs each for 5-6 hours per day+traveling between them, have to pick up food on the go for at least 2 meals. And after that long ass work day, you are usually so damn tired you just cant take an hour less sleep to cook something yourself
@@miguelrobb5719Not everyone has a home... I live in my van... Also I work and I'm not on drugs.
At this point they can charge $28 for a meal and people would still go there.
Those people are smooth brained and deserve to be separated from their money.
@@aychemara i stopped eating this junk long time ago and i feel so much better.

I guess? But my wife and I stopped over the last two years (gradually). Let's put it this way, so far in 2024, zero visits to any fast food place. It's very rare for us now. We can afford it. We just refuse to pay huge amounts of money for food that is bad for us and used to be very cheap. Funny thing is I bet you the shift away is more people like me and that people who are very low income are still going to line up for Mc'y D's. Why? It's hard work to cook and clean. I know. I do it every night, so we can eat healthy.
@@mikeg3728 As soon as i get a craving for a burger i just fire up the grill even in the middle of winter 🤣
As long as people are paying that price they’re going to keep charging.
You can get a ribeye steak for $10-$17 . I'll go with the ribeye.
I am retired in the Philippines. I can buy a Big Mac meal with large fries and a large coke, delivered, for $6.13. It is important to note that the minimum wage here in Cebu Philippines is 435 pesos ($7.77) per day, not per hour, per day. So that Big Mac meal is almost an entire day's pay for that Mc worker. Many Filipinos consider McDonald's a real treat.
yaY poverty wages. just what we need.
Yeah, I think, the US has been used to affordable fast foods. Here in the Philippines, fast foods are not cheap options. Those are treats for ordinary Filipinos. Healthier (and REAL) food outside are more affordable.
Most places in America, 3 meals at Micky D's is a $100.00 and up. Absolute insanity.@@MarkEdisonAlviz-official
Me too the only time I eat mcdough is in the Philippines
i'm eating my homemade hashbrowns with egg and side mushrooms cooked on my small geo foreman grill, took 10 minutes and so hot and tastey, was about 50 cents
I control my appetite by looking at modern day news casters! wow!
And puking when watching The View.
Easy fix. Learn to cook at home. If you're really busy then learn to cook in bulk and vacuum seal and freeze.
Fast food isn't part of my lifestyle.. it's literally poison.
It may not be part of your lifestyle. But your paying taxes that go toward a majority of McDonald's workforce. Because the companies needs more profits every quarter. For stock holders to make a profit. Most of their workforce gets your tax dollars on the backend in the form of food stamps. Because for McDonald's to pay them fully. Would mean their stock prices would drop.
I agree
Exactly
Expensive poison.
@@franklin9400 - Yep, pure poison. It always made me feel ill. I stopped eating fast food decades ago. It's filled with nasty chemicals and weird deadly salts.
Reply
The next thing they’ll try is the new “Heathy Burger” where it only cost $6.00 and there’s no meat on the bun 😂😂
You must mean the Wuhan 1/4 pounder with a simulated cheese sumthing?
YES...now dont forget labeling. It's organic no steroids were used because they arnot there!
What is now a Big Mac used to be a Jr. Mac. Over the years McDonalds, BK, Wendy's have ALL decreased the amount of ingredients they put on a sandwich and increased the prices. Now you get a piece of meat, half slice of cheese, and a burger bun to smother it all. You get a better deal if you go to some local Mom + Pop diner for a burger! You get more meat, more ingredients on your burger than if you go to McDonalds, BK, or Wendy's! I personally don't know why people still eat at these places because the burgers just don't taste that good anymore and for what you get, you're ripped off on the price!
It's the same thing with homes. What used to be an actual 2x4 used for framing is no longer 2 inches by 4 inches. Instead of plywood, look at how much cheaper particle board is used instead. Cheaper hardyboard siding instead of brick. Etc. Yet the new home prices are much higher for a cheaper built home. And you don't see anyone keeping the price of their homes low. Everyone expects their home value to keep increasing to where now a home has gotten out of affordability for too many.
This is not just corporate greed. People in general are greedy. They have no problem with their home value increasing to profit when they sell or raising rent sky high for more profit but complain when prices of food go up. But I totally agree with you on places like McD's. The food is awful and the prices are definitely not worth it. Heck, I remember about a decade ago seeing the prices at Wendy's go way up and the only fast food I've eaten since has pretty much been Chick fil-A. For a good burger I go to a restaurant and get an ACTUAL burger.
The filet of fish is the worst it’s literally 1/4 the size it was during my childhood 🙄
Well, they are made by Doctors and Engineers with much love.
Don't go. Simple
@@StefanPigford-f4k Personally, I stopped going to these places years ago. I go to local Mom + Pop diners/kitchens instead.
$18 for "meat" thats mostly made of bugs and chemicals
Taste good to me.
Their beef is 100% beef.
For 28 dollars at winco you get 10 pounds of ground beef, and if you make the burger yourself it will taste better and healthier, then Mc Garbage. Also, you can feed the family all week long with other ground beef items. Smooth brainers deserve to be separated from their money.
no need to start lying just because you're annoyed about fast food prices
@@defendingthefaith.7889 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yea....right
Big Macs are crap. Everyone needs to stay away from McDonalds crap.
Lee, Mass McDonalds is located on the Massachusetts State Turnpike. All these rest stop restaurants are triple and quadruple what you’d pay on Main St USA
All service plazas are like that, yes. The NY State Thruway is no different.
That's wonderful news, everybody needs to stop eating that fast food garbage anyways.
competition keeps prices in check. if i were to open a hamburger truck across the street and charge $8.50, i'd have more business than i could handle.
truck with no rent = you can do it.
@@RichardJew-d9x wouldn't have to be a truck, any competitor with a building across the street would trounce them assuming their other prices are equally absurd.
Who the heck is a fan of fast food these days?!?
I like it for the quick healthy options which there are healthy options but it’s just to much money even the healthy stuff is more then the non healthy options.
popeyes,kfc,McD,bk, are all going to go the way of the dodo. Those prices are unsustainable for the consumer
I won't miss any of them. Years ago KFC was awesome.
I only go to BK for their breakfast deal, 2 for $5/6. Outside of breakfast, I go to Whataburger for everything else. Don't go to any other
The vast majority of inflation is from price gouging, not wage increases which fall way down the line.
Wrong on two topics simultaneously.
Exactly, just look at the car market and housing.
@@The_DC_KidActually, he's right. It's greedy corporate CEO's, executives & shareholders that are doing it, including grocery prices. Look at other restaurants like In-&-Out where they pay employees much better while still keeping their food prices cheaper for consumers.
Don't be letting either corporate mainstream media/legacy media or corrupt, career politicians brainwash you with propaganda.
$18 Big Mac was one place on a turnpike. But cost has gone up.
dont eat the garbage. simple.
Where’s the value in this price?
Gone
1-2 hours of cooking/washing dishes vs 15 minutes food trip. That's probably the only value that ever existed for fast food.
It creates value for stock holders. Who require profit to grow every quarter. Even if fewer and fewer people want their poison or can afford it.
Same people who demanded a minimum wage of $25 for unskilled labor.
Guess how much they'll be making when it goes out of business??
Price goes up. Crew gets laid off. Stock goes up. Cant lose.
Shirley..and $oltenity..
hard to run a business with no workers and few customers
@@Ryan-093 they don't even care. It's all stock and no substance. It's hollow just like Ronald McDonald's head. 🤣
Stop blaming the workers this is textbook example of price gouging. We need to go after the people in the top for the crime of price gouging. They are ruining our country blame everyone but themselves and their record profits.
If you owned a business, would you take a pay cut?
@@roundedrob1483keeping your workers happy and customers returning is the most important thing.
I wouldn't pay $1 for that crap.
It's dog shit. I still wouldn't buy it even for a buck. Disgusting shit.
I’m glad my wife cooks home meals everyday for our family
I buy a good milk here in HEB San Antonio for 3.50, 7 avocados for 3.50, 7 bananas for less than 2 dollars, a dozen eggs for 2.50, so my weekly breakfast cost is less than 11.50 😁
In Canada I can get a 12 pack of eggs for 4 dollars a pack of bacon for 4 dollars some hash browns for 5 dollars and a pack of sausages for 5 bucks that’s 18 bucks and I can have breakfast for a good week.
Now’s a good time to stop eating fast food.
McDonald’s needs to go back to 1920’s prices 5 cents for a drink and 15 cents for a burger and fries.
We, the consumers have the power to just say…”No” to this insanity…..then watch the prices drop🤷🏻♂️
No, based on costs of labor, particularly here in CA where staff are getting $20 per hour, prices will not be dropping. Liberalism is very, very expensive. The really sad part is that we expect 60%+ of the fast-food laborers will lose their employment.
@@PaulFinestone Looks like everybody loses. The employees lose their jobs and the average person can't afford to eat fast food anymore.
Yeah, just boycott them and let them go out of business. For me, I find that it is easy to make at home, especially with googling COPYCAT RECIPES for stuff.
I think half the food they sell is due to children of single Moms insisting that's where they go, and many have abdicated their power on that topic (others as well). Weak Moms make weak children.
@@PaulFinestone True that's why a boycott will eventually lead to the call to reduce the minimum wage after so many people lose their jobs and businesses over it! Inflation is just a tax on your savings.
Putting a pickle on a bun for $15-20 hr LOL
For Comparison: Five Guys' burgers are about $10 where I live (Midwest), and they are 100% better than fast food.
Rubbish
People especially Americans really need to give that garbage up anyway or for the same price go to a locally own spot and get real beef most likely ground in-house and cooked to the temperature of your choosing for the same price.
Yep the few times I eat out it's at a local business, preferribly a BBQ joint.
it's great to support local businesses when you can, but you'll spend far more. so to be honest if people are going to flip out over prices at mcdonalds going up, they really shouldn't be eating out locally either.
@@twistedspine7300 I eat out probably once a month at a barbeque joint that is locally owned. I think it is reasonably to treat one's self like I do.
I stopped going to Mcds a long time ago, every time the price is higher than the time before and I'm not downloading apps for everywhere I go to save 25 cents.
With the Mc app i get 2 1/4lb med fry and 2 cokes for about $12. The app gives buy one get one 1/4lber or big mac.
Get 2 mcdoubles and stack them on top of each other and sub out big mac sauce. Toss 1 top bun and add lettuce for 100% accuracy.
3.95
Old school and I love it 😂
You can even make better ones at home. Market Basket carries Woeber's Sandwich Dressing which taste real close if not better than Bic Mac sauce. Nice thick burger, fresh toppings, fresh grilled roll...YUM. About $3.00.
i thought i was the only one doing that buy one pay one Doller for the second one
Here's a good piece of advice just stop going to McDonald's if you don't want to pay 18.00 for a bigmac and besides McDonald's is gross and disgusting.
Why do people keep talking about that disgusting Big Mac sauce? McDonald's is already disgusting, but that sauce is probably the grossest thing of all.
They can price the Big Mac at $100, but nobody will buy one. At In-N-Out in Southern California, you can still get their cheeseburger meal for about $9 (tax included), with their employees making $20 an hour on up. Their cheeseburger meal beats any Big Mac Meal. Go there instead. Anyway, there's no use complaining, because it's not going to lower prices. One way to give yourself a discount is to keep a supply of drinks and water in your car, that you bought at the supermarket. That way, you can avoid the $3+ plus cost for a cup of sugar water they try to sell you.
I would save some more money by not getting fries either.
A double double is $5.25. It costs no more to get it Animal style
@@edschulhof6303 The cheeseburger meal is enough for me, unless I'm really h0ngry.
Oh, it’s those pesky workers again!
I bet their benefit package is killing profits.
when I got charged almost $10 for a quarter pound meal, that was my LAST time going there,
Wait til California’s 21$ per hour for fast food workers. It’ll be 20+
That McD franchise in Connecticut ($18 Big Mac meal), is known among the most expensive, in a wealthy neighborhood. Connecticut minimum wage increased just 69 cents in 2024. Not $20/hr like in California. So, yes it's greed driving those high prices.
You nailed it!
I can’t believe all the people that never did the math to figure this out for themselves
CT minimum wage is $15.69 per hour - yet rents there are some of the highest in the nation - how can you live off of that?
I worked at espn a few years ago and they started me at $17 for a job that required a bachelors degree - Connecticut cost of living compared to their low wages is a joke!
@@lexa_power
Sounds like compared with the rest of the country you don’t have a wage problem you have a inflation problem. McDonald’s was never supposed to be a a place you could make a career of unless you went into management. Back in the day they were full of young kids that lived at home and were happy with 2.65 hr. So they could go on dates and pay for a thousand dollar car with dads help.
If McDonald’s employees don’t make enough they should do something else.
In the end it has a lot to do with greed. A big Mac only cost about .70 to make but they expect people to pay 8-9 dollars for it. That model is unsustainable
@@Tinmania-m8u
NAILED IT!!
Boycot McDonalalds!! That will teach them to gouge the price.
Yeah, just boycott them and let them go out of business. For me, I find that it is easy to make at home, especially with googling COPYCAT RECIPES for stuff.
It not simple just like with Uber or Amazon they seem to have an effective business model without having the goverment interfering
It's greed. Period.
I haven't been to ANY fast food place since January of 2023, and I see no reason to return. NOT giving them my money, is the only weapon that I have, as a single consumer.
It’s one McDonald’s. The Big Mac meal is just over 9 dollars at the majority of locations. But that is also a bit high for fast food.
The irony of calling 18 bucks for a nasty, GMO burger a "value meal"
Mac shrewdly calculated that if they triple the cost of a burger they'll need to sell only 1/3 as many to make the same profit.
Welp he didn't calculate his greed screwing his bottom dollar did he? Check mate!!!
You don't understand basic economics. If you triple the cost, your sales plummet and you may make a small profit or actually lose money. Ridiculous minimum wage for unskilled labor intended for teenagers is driving businesses out of business.
@@bg5215 Who does the jobs when the teenagers are at school?
McDonald's annual gross profit for 2023 was $14.563B, a 10.26% increase from 2022. McDonald's annual gross profit for 2022 was $13.207B, a 4.98% increase from 2021. McDonald's annual gross profit for 2021 was $12.58B, a 29% increase from 2020. The company is not hurting and is trying to take advantage of inflation to increase their profit for 2024.

That headline doesn’t say that McDonald’s was on a section of highway with travel stops, they charge xtra at those car/ truck stops.
Just don’t go there. It’s that easy! You don’t have to pay those ridiculous prices. Eat at home where possible.
I remember when chipotle was the expensive fast food. Now it’s a draw wherever you go. You’ll be spending at least $11 anywhere now.
Yeah, just boycott them and let them go out of business. For me, I find that it is easy to make at home, especially with googling COPYCAT RECIPES for stuff.
"I'll have a burger, fries, a soft drink, and change back from my dollar," said no one for a very long time.
Not surprised. That rest stop is ALWAYS wicked high on EVERYTHING. It's a captive audience as you're on I-95.
Havent been to McDonalds in around 5 years.
Their food has gotten too expensive and they replaced most of their staff with machines which i also hate.
Selling garbage at premium prices... I stopped eating junk food for more than 20 years and I feel great...
Maybe it’s because the State there in is making them pay extremely high wages plus high taxes and high fees for licenses to operate
Ecoconomics 1 on 1. When someone demands more money the employer has to raise their prices. Then the employee finds they still can't afford anything because of the high prices. So they demand more money and it starts all over again. They don't gain a thing. But most don't see it that way.
Meanwhile IN-N-Out paying employees 20 dollars an hr and still charging 10.03 for 2 burgers, fries and a drink. So your economics is flawed
Everyone wants $17 to $20 an hour for minimum wage. You think fast food places are gonna eat that cost? 😂😂😂 No! They're gonna make the people who eat there pay for it.
Good
No, McDonalds has been raising margins for years. Worker wages at McDonalds are 20-25% of the food cost and are not the main reason prices are up. They charge more because you still buy it, simple as that.
Especially now that sit down restaurants let you order takeout before you even leave your house.
If you want the normies to wake up, over charge them for their chicken nuggies.
Only problem is, you can't wake people up who have zero logic to begin with. That's gonna take some intervention.
Pound of beef costs 4 to 8 bucks. 4 buns 1 buck. Cheese & condiments 1 buck. 2 potatoes 1 buck. For about 10 bucks you can make four 1/4lb cheeseburgers and 4 servings of fries. Or, you can spend $18 on one burger & fries plus a soda.
Going to Mac's is Wealth-signaling or caving in to your children's demands.
I went to Chilli's last night and for $16.99 had a delicious and HUGE 2/3 pound burger with 6 slices of bacon that came with fries or salad and a drink. Burger was so big I brought home half of it.
Rubbish
Rubbish
Someone has to pay for 20 dollar an hour McD's workers. You want $20 min wage you'll pay $18 for a combo.
Corporations have learned they can raise their prices & blame it on inflation. They care more about the stockholder than the customer. 🙏❤😡
Duh!
The McDonald’s nearest me starts new hires off at $19 an hour and I live in the boonies.
Good, if they didn't you would be subsidizing McDonald's workforce for them with your tax dollars. You probably still do. Because it isn't enough.
Most of their workforce is getting your tax dollars on the back end in food stamps. Because they make so little and because McDonalds knows it can make more in profits.
If they didn't. You would be spending tax dollars to give those workers food stamps. So that McDonalds can make more profit as their workers don't make enough to live. So...
@@franklin9400 You’re wrong. What happened was, after lockdown people didn’t want to work so businesses offered higher wages with sign on bonuses. Thus the rising fast food costs. The hell is wrong with you.?
@DeepDishPizza No in lockdowns, we paid businesses with our taxes. You're a re tard. Thing are more expensive, because businesses have to keep raising profit margins every quarter. Even though less people can afford their products, so they raise prices. All the companies are making huge profits. Good times or bad.
Let’s stop calling it a “value” meal. Those stopped existing years ago.
Yeah, I have a feeling restaurants are going to be a thing of the past in 10 years. Inflation and COVID killed their profits and trying, now, to recover the costs from the customer is killing them even faster.
I grew up nearly poor and through the 70's inflationary period.
I was always envious of the neighbor kids' new bikes and Levi's jeans...their Converse shoes.
We only got to go out for food about 2 or 3 times a year.
That was back when .25 bread loaves at the" day old store" was what we lived on...and food boxes from the church fed us prior to payday.
Today....I can't afford to eat "fast" food so I don't.
It's only going to get worse....wait until the tax man gets his way with US.
Just stop buying, its not that hard as I did so two years ago. I don't miss it either.
Texas Road House in my area has a special before 5PM where you get a 6 oz. sirloin steak meal for 11.99 which includes baked potato or steak fries, salad, and delicious warm rolls. Why would I go to McDonalds?
If pricing is high, would at least feel better if the quality of food was better. That patty could use a little help. Better quality of beef. Thanks
I wonder how much it costs in Disney World. My parents decades ago back in 2005 it was pretty pricey. They told us to eat well at the hotel cause we are not eating inside.
Didn't know inflation affect garbage like MacDonald😂
If these McDonald's still there. It's the people's fault. Shop (VOTE) with your dollars. (like Budweiser)
Get this woman a wig.
I recently walked out of McDonald's, when I saw how much their prices have sky rocketed!
Not worth it!
mcdonalds is going to be the next bud light, when people realize they don't actually have to eat there and pay their prices. ill go to a sit down restaurant, pay the same price and have a box of leftovers for the next day. at mcdonalds i have a value meal for $15 and am still hungry.
when i was a kid and lived in california you could get 2 big macs for 2 dollars on a sundays, then they had $.39 cheeseburger days and $.29 hamburger days. Taco bell did the same, and burger king had $1 whopper specials.
i cant afford these prices, as a 31 year master auto technician at a dealership, this country has just turned extremely sad under this president.
ToxDonalds, make your own wholesome meals maybe?
Md charges employees for food,most others eat free.everybody out of cali dont know what you're missing at inout
They shrunk their products And raised their prices.
I gave up that crap a long time ago!
I remember back in 1994 the Big Mac value meal was $18 in Japan. This was back in 1994 people. I can’t imagine what it is now? Lol.
I guess like $50 in yen
@dixienormus1619 he made it up hoping for likes
We ran a "come to us" special: a junior sandwich, small ff, and small cola for 30¢. Mind you, the regular price of the sandwich was about 75¢ ( $1.00 today's menu price). Customers loved it. Guys would swing by on the way to the factory and order "10 specials, with one drink". I asked my manager why, was he losing money? He said, "No. I can sell the specials for 25¢ and make money. They cost us 15¢ to make." Never really looked at chow the same way since.
Raising the minimum wage to a point where it's a joke, plays a huge part.
I quite MD when Thay started charging for extra Mac sauce on my big Mac
"I just paid 18 bucks for a BigMac, its robbery!!!!" Well, we're all capable of making our choices. Rubes. Eat a block of butter and a bag of sugar, you'll be better off health wise.
Stop buying it... they'll get the message...
WHAT??? Where I am here in Canada, we constantly get in our junk mail 2 can dine Big Mac deal meal coupons for $13.99. That's 2 Big Mac meals (burger, fries, drink).
We just left McDonald's in OKC
Do you have gas money to get home
I haven't eaten at a McD's in twenty years. Too much salt and I can cook my own burger in less time than the normal drive-thru.
Here in Wisconsin wife and I just bought eggs for $1.69 a dozen. Ham for $.98. Milk for $2.99 a gallon. Better to stay at home and eat healthy food rather than fast food garbage.
I could make 6 burgers for this price at home... and without the Sugar
