McDonalds value menu is no longer a value!

I am happy with a slice of pizza and a soda from Costco for $2.79.

This just in....McD's was never a value buy. You paid shit because you get shit.

People wouldn't be nearly as upset had their pay also increased at 50% during that same time frame. Oh wait...this is ATOT where 50% raises flow like wine.

50% raises?
peasant...

It has to do with the price of beef and the droughts we've been having. At precisely the wrong moment, Mcdonalds moved most of their chicken sandwhiches out of the lower numbered value meals and put them in the bottom value menu area in the teens. (So chicken items went from like #5-9 to #11-15)

Then they put a whole bunch of quarter pounders, which have trans fat, near the top.

I'm the type of guy who eats almost zero trans fat if I can help it, so I always bought the chicken from Mcdonalds, because for whatever reason their chicken never has any trans fat (or at least less than 0.5grams).

Since they moved most chicken menu items to the bottom, their volume was always too low and so the sandwhich wasn't fresh, wilted lettuce, etc. So I stopped buying them.

So... the beef menu items are a bad deal because of beef costs, they have too many different chicken sandwiches so they're never fresh, so I haven't been to Mcdonalds in months where as I used to actually go there if I was hungry.

If you want a relatively healthy, good value burger, try the Junior jack. $1.19 - $1.39, it's a pretty well balanced hamburger.

Its funny you mention this. Today at Costco a couple of the people that work in the food court sat with me at the table for lunch, yeah I go there that much. They made a custom pizza by bringing in some other toppings. While sitting with me we talked about pizza and what we like, I mentioned I see people go get onions all the time for the hot dogs. I like onions, but only cooked on pizza.

Yeah, the cost of pink slime is getting outrageous.

Pound for pound though, the Costco $5 Rotisserie Chicken is still the best value meal for the money. 🙂

agreed, also probably the best tasting chicken you can buy in a store.

Sunday, I had been working outside all day, and needed to drive to town to buy a replacement hammer. While there, since I hadn't eaten all day, I decided to get a cheeseburger at BK. I looked at it for a couple moments, thinking, "wow, these things are a lot smaller than I remembered them." I very rarely get food from BK, except perhaps a coffee if I'm on the road. So, I was left wondering, did BK corporate make the change very very gradually, hoping no one noticed? Or, was it just a sudden change where they reduced the size by about 30%?

Whooper used to be about 30% bigger imo. Call it the whimper now.

Wendy's.

The Jr. Bacon Cheesburger used to be $1 and now it's $2.09

Had one 2 nights ago with a small chocolate Frosty and got food poisoning (that or stomach virus). Now I haven't eaten anything since then.

Affordable diet plan I guess.

LOL

I had a BJs membership and other parents agree... every time you walk into that store it's a $100+ spent. I gave up on club memberships so saving money won't mean spending more money. It's kind of like paying for Amazon Prime.

Cook their own food more often rather than relying on cheap, ready made crap with inferior ingredients, whether that be McDonald's or $5/lb hot dogs at the grocery store.

There is always a need for convenience food and eating the aforementioned isn't an absolute no-no but the more people rely on it and demand grows, the more the ready made stuff will rise in price or shrink in size, which is what the OP was bitching about.

Wouldn't that make rising junk food prices a good thing? Perhaps it would get people to seek out cheaper (and maybe healthier) options, if crappy fast food gets too expensive.
