The end of McDonald's Dollar Menu as we know it

[JEDI]

McDonald's (MCD, Fortune 500) renamed the menu Dollar Menu & More. Some of the items will still cost a dollar, but other items will cost more.

$1: two slices of apple pie, two bags of apple slices, and a "cone" (presumably with ice cream in it, but the menu didn't specify.)

Most of the other items cost a dollar and change, including the McDouble and McChicken, which each go for $1.69, and the four-piece McNugget, which costs $1.59.

The prices climb higher from there; the double cheeseburger costs $2.19 and the McFlurry is priced at $2.89. The most expensive item on the Extra Value Menu & More was the 20-piece McNugget for $4.99.


RIP $1 McDouble

Well, there goes the only reason to eat at McDonalds.

Who would want to buy that shit anyway? They are the lowest ranked fast food place. Hell, even Hardees is higher rated nation wide.

Takes a lot of calories to maintain a hefty 240lbs in a 5ft 8 inch frame.

Yep. It would be years since I ate McDonalds if not for the ability to grab a fast, cheap double cheeseburger (or 'McDouble,' ever since they decided that a slice of cheese costs an extra dollar or whatever) and large sweet tea. It has probably literally been a decade since I have eaten anything else there, as it is completely and utterly not worth it.

60-70%+ increases in price? LOL GG McDonalds.

Well shit. Forget McDonalds.

Awesome, a thread about how fast food sucks and isn't good for you. We needed another one of these.

Yeah that sucks. I was hoping for tips on how I could walk out of McDonald's with a 4000 calorie lunch for under$5.

I remember when a hamburger was 39 cents.

*waits for old timer to tell me he remembers when they cost 4 shillings and a goat hoof*

Do these price increases coincide with them paying their staff more? If not, then I will refuse to eat at McDonalds... oh wait I did that anyway.

Yup because burger flippers deserve to be paid $15/hr :what:

It's amazing how many people come in every McDonalds thread to specifically say they don't eat it or like it. Nobody cares.

This sounds really similar to the dollar menu here in Canada, though those nuggets are still significantly cheaper. $4.99 for 20 nuggets? That's how much a 6 piece costs here.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

McChicken was the bomb

Now it costs OVER 1 dollar?

Fuck em

 

[Crono]

McDonald's is going to start having to offer credit soon.

 

[SlitheryDee]

That it! This is the last straw! I would have paid $1 for a mcdouble, but 0.69 more is absolutely OUT OF THE QUESTION! It turns out that the 0.69 I was saving on every mcdouble up to now would have added up to exactly $172.50 at the probable time of my death 50 years hence.

This is bullshit. I was going to buy a hammock to lay my bony old ass in in the last 10-14 days of my life, but that's ALL OVER now! Not only would inflation make it likely that I would have to add approximately $327.50 to my theoretical mcdouble money ANYWAY. Now I have to come up with the whole $500? Fuck you mcdonalds, and fuck your "Dollar Menu & More". You've ruined everything!

I will go $0.19 and signs bragging of the #s 100,000s served

 

[Slew Foot]

......and I feel fine

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

lol. Won't be long before some of their clientele call 911 and complain "they went up on my nuggets".

I'm just afraid of all the meth head rampages that will occur with zombie like addicts swarming around McDonald's.

Don't remember when a hamburger was $0.39 on a regular basis but I do remember when Dairy Queen offered 4 for a buck when I was in high school. They did this about 4 to 5 times per year.

Maybe now McDonalds can give raises and quit telling their employees to sign up on food stamps. :hmm:
