Ойын-сауық
The fast food chain may be rolling out a five-buck value meal in the near future, according to Bloomberg, as many fast food chains respond to tough feedback from customers about rising prices.

McDonald's CEO was paid 17.8 million in 2022... Maybe they should cut some salaries?!!

They still have the snack wraps in the UK
Where I live in Texas, one large Big Mac meal, one large 10 piece McNuggets meal, two apple pies and 4 jalapenos was $31 and change last weekend. Whataburger the previous week; one medium double Whataburger meal, one double Whataburger sandwich only, one large onion rings side, one large fries on the side and two apple pies was $29 and change. Considering the minimum wage in Texas is still $7.25, and the city I live in has not raised its minimum wage either, I don't get why prices have gone up here in Texas by a third in the past two years.

Well yes, for those of us already struggling there’s no way you can continue to eat out. You need to make your own coffee at home and fry your own burger. You can’t continue to keep buying if the funds aren’t there!
They are going to have to do better than that if they want business back, like drop prices across the board, simple.
Abblebees has 2 for 20! Try to get 2 meals for 20 at any fast food joint
Why does every news video about this subject uses the same 2 content creators or commentators?
I recently bought 2 combos at a non-McDonald's fast food place. The price was more than that at my local buffet for lunch.
The grocery store freezer section is fast food's greatest enemy. All the food they sell is available there for much cheaper.
I have def cut back on going out to grab something to eat its just insane..
Last year for my birthday I got Taco Bell for 3 people and it was over 50 bucks in NYC! I almost fainted! I don’t eat fast food except for my birthday. And they messed up the order also! I remember Taco Bell as a teenager being so cheap! With ten bucks I could feed myself and my two younger siblings! I remember going to McDonald’s and buying them a happy meal for 2 dollars! Now a happy meal in NYC is 7 dollars
Yeah, Wendy's has the $5 Biggie Bag, but the prices of everything else on their menu is jacked up way too high. If McDonald's does a $5 meal, brace yourselves for noticeable price increases on every menu item that is not the cheap meal.
Why would i pay $5 for a Mcdouble fries and a drink when i know those all use to be on the dollar menu.
So, what’s the plan to speed up even more traffic when the new $5 value meal is introduced? McDonald’s drive thrus already don’t seem to be able to handle what they have now, and a 15min wait for fast food is already unreasonable.😞
How come the media reports 4% inflation one minute & then the new high prices of groceries, restaurants, gas, rent, homes & etc. Do i just not understand how inflation is calculated? (To make it not sound so bad). You all know we're paying more than 4% for everything this year than last, right?

It used to be called the McDouble Bundle for $3.50 or so. Adding a drink to make it $5 is actually a price hike. Don't be fooled.

LOL McDonald's was never synonymous with quality ever. Its cheap fast food which was the appeal. Bottom line is they've hiked up prices to the point where the market is now declining so they have to bring those customers back. They'll probably pump more chemicals into the "food" to keep their profit margins going while they cut prices...
They're only cutting prices on a small select amount of items and it's for one month big freaking deal.
People complained about high price, but I still see a lot of people in my local McDonald. I just saw a lady pick up 20 happy meals couple days ago.
Should have been covering Taco Bell. My mom used to feed our family of 6 for 25$ with a party pack of soft taco supremes. We each would get 2-3 tacos. Now I can’t even buy a meal for even half that and my fiancé and I usually cost almost 30$ now for 2 combos after tax. And delivery services goodness. I’m happy to tip the delivery people but the service fees are ridiculous and the restaurants charge more sometimes. I also noticed smaller portions than what they give in the store. My coworker and I ordered once and she got a slice of pie and it was a literal sliver of pie for 7$ I could have bought a half cake for that much at the supermarket.
What fine dining restaurant is only $14? @1:03 That woman is delusional or clueless. All these fast food companies have been gouging customers and blaming inflation. Their record profits prove that jacking up prices was a fake inflation excuse.
Soon in 10 years maybe, a double quarter pounder w/cheese will be over $40.

I am not sure what to think , I shop at the grocery store in my town and buy certain things there , but when it comes to meat , I go to the next town over because the same meat is almost 50% less there and that is not a sale price . As for Franchisers like McD's they make Billions and don't care what happens to their Franchisees , The Franchiser sets the price they charge the Franchisee and doesn't allow the Franchisee to shop around for the best deal . The Franchiser buys huge bulk and charges the Franchisee retail ( a hamburger patty may cost $ .19 to make and they sell it to Franchisee for $1.00 ) . The Franchisee has to make money too but since they are already paying retail or close to it there is not much room for profit by the time it gets to them . Don't listen to the Spin Doctors that work for big companies .
That’s like the price of 2 years ago. No value here.

People will complain and yet still go to Mcdonald's and eat there nasty food.
Look up pink slime or LFTB. McD's claim they quit using this inn 2012, not true. Unfortunately they are allowed to and can call their burgers 100% beef too. Every chain fast food burger you eat is made with some form of this, also their chicken nuggets. Do you really want to feed this to your kids or yourselves?
Besides, those who complaint on their social media did not seem to have money issues!

All of that stuff is easily makeable at home now and if I’m gonna go out to eat, I’m gonna go to a nice restaurant in tip a waitress I’m not going through the drive-through no more and not a five dollar menu won’t bring me back.
Why are they weighing on this? I think it is because if they sell cheap $5 meals, more homeless folks will occupy the store.
Eat at home is better no more McDonald's
I Have An Idea, Just Don't Order It, Get Something Else On The Menu That's Alot Cheaper 🤷 Honestly I Don't Care About Prices On The Menu
