Some McD franchises have a 2 for $3 breakfast special. It's your sausage biscuit paired with a hash brown.

When I thought about how bad I'd feel after eating my favorite fastfood, the craving went away. That's how I stopped McDees, and the rest followed soon after.

Fast food has been unaffordable in Australia for most for over five years. First they get you hooked on the product and the convenience, and then when they’ve got a good % of the market, they increase prices

As so one who drives all over the southeast for work, i can vouch. Nothing but the same repeat garbage food everywhere. The only time I eat out is when work pays for it, and thats usually only when i can find a mom and pop place. Piss on the fast food restaurant industry. Personally, I hope they ALL close, and soon.

Fast food is shite. You are better off cooking at home. Our local DG has a fresh produce section. I make a lot of soups using fresh veggies and pasta dishes with things like spinach. I'd say I'm in better shape than 90 % of people my own age.

Can already guarantee you this isn’t practical advise for MANY in the U.S. In all three states I’ve lived, I’ve NEVER seen a dollar general with a produce section, for starters. Plus, I’d LOVE to see you say that exact response to overworked parents coming home from 14+ hour work days and STILL have to clean their houses, look after their children, and feed them SOMETHING. Would be even more ironically hilarious to see you say this to a disabled person.

I only go there twice a year for a 20 piece chicken nugget, so I haven't paid attention to how much they've gone up.

The problem with mandated minimum wages is that by far not every business is worth the increased labor compensation, particularly low-margin enterprises relying on hordes of low-skilled workforce. Differential application of the minimum wage could mend the situation, but that will demand even more red tape and exception loops that have to be administered and the already existing exceptions are siring controversies.

I notice its same in UK, , im sure it was something like £14/15 for two adult two kids meals a few years ago. The last time we had one. I think it was £22/24 when we had one last March when we were coming back from holiday. Their "food" is rank.

Here in Canada in the early 2000's I could get 2 mcdoubles and a junior chicken for under $5

Trust me. Mcdonals forgot their palce. A fking meal for 7 quid? A burger with chips? Beat of going to those burger merchants around here with caravans. Regardless. Hope they keep putting prices up, people will start realising it simply isnt worth it and start eating healthy again

Because corporations see that wage increase & think they can start charging more to compensate for every penny of potential revenue going into labor costs. It's a never-ending cycle of fail.

The messed up thing is I live in East Europe where the average salary is about 700 euros after tax, and the prices are the same here as they are in the US or West Europe. I was never a big consumer of fast food, but a couple of weeks ago suddenly got a craving for KFC. I bought an average burger, a side of fries and 4 chicken strips with 2 wings. A cup of juice-some menu version, and it cost about 23 euros. And I weighed myself the next day, and had gained 1.1kg, which is impressive.

$18+ for fast food? Here in Norway, one of the most expensive countries on earth, I can get a full dinner plus coffee for that price in most cafes. Here at Fauske in Northern Norway, the cafe we visit the most (at the railroad station), have dinners starting at around $14, and the food is excellent. And $7 for coffee, is roughly double compared to just about any cafe, restaurant or gas station here, and even that is expensive, imo. Btw, here in Europe we don't have these massive chains taking over everything. Everywhere, from the smallest villages to the largest cities, you'll have no problem finding cozy restaurants that doesn't belong to any chain at all. And thank God for that !!!

My wife and I dont eat much, it had been a while so treated ourselves to maccas last week. We're in NZ and my medium big Mac combo and her medium cheese burger combo with chicken nuggets came to almost $40!!! I live near a sit down restaurant with cheaper and better quality burgers.

I don't eat fast food, never really did... only in a pinch while traveling every blue moon or so. But I specifically remember that in 2020, when people were pushing for $15 wages an hour, I commented this would cause prices to sky rocket and make it unaffordable, AND people will lode their jobs. Do you want to make minimum wage, or do you want no job...? Because that's where we are heading with this BS. Then, after $15, inflation was on the brink, and NOW, they are pushing for 20 to 25$$ an hour! I even said they would end up firing actual human beings and make it ALL automated with robots. People called me every name in the book, tried to bully me on here, called me every ist, ism, and phobe too. "You are a rac!st p0s," was said to me ALOT! I feel vindicated, but it is upsetting because I knew this horrible outcome would come with my vindication. CAUSING the lower class to suffer much more. People need to start thinking logically again and stop running on pure emotion and delusional thinking. Far too many people are brainwashed AF, walking around wanting to just find/pick/start a fight with anyone that disagrees with them. These people are making my brain SMOOTH AF, bro.

These corpos make billions, they could pay their employees $25+ an hour and still have obscene profits

This is basically the issue with capitalism as a whole: big corporations are incentivized to offer a great service at an insanely good price to drive out the local competition. Once that local competition is gone, raise the prices because there's nobody else to compete. We've seen this happen IN LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ECONOMIC SECTOR, from video games to movies (blockbuster-netflix anybody?), and it's never going to change.

I used to work at McDonald’s and a manager told me every time we got a raise the food prices went up😭💀

Ironically, the “recession food” is getting worse and more expensive while we’re going through a worldwide recession

You all think it’s bad now? Just give it another 5 years. You will own nothing, and you will be happy…… 👍🏼🤷🏼

I used to eat McDonald's quite often, but stopped about a year ago due coupons not being as good and prices also going off. Used to be able to get buy one get one free sausage McMuffin for $1.24 But I also just got sick at it for eating there so often.

It’s a marketing trick used to get rich people to pay more. You can still get most stuff for 1/3 the menu price on the app with deals and points. Normal people will order this way, while rich people won’t bother and will just pay the marked up menu prices. This lets places like McDonalds essentially charge people based on their income, getting both maximum revenue and maximum customers, since normal people can pay the app prices. It’s honestly pretty smart.

@BBB-pe3ip

Deals and coupons are rarer or less affordable every year. Even if you get "buy 1, get 50% off", you're still paying the outrageous new prices. It's not "smart", unless you judge intelligence by customer ignorance and McDonald's greed. $10 burgers are still $10, but now we get $1 coupons for a single hash brown. McDonald's is simply transitioning to rich people.

The sad part is this isn’t just limited to fast food. It’s getting into retail stores too. The rise in minimum wage is making everything worse for everyone. It always gets me when people complain about self checkout will also complain when things are expensive and here I am getting paid 20 bucks an hour. And the worse part is the company is STILL hiring anyone with a pulse.
