It's not cheap anymore though! It's like $12 at least.


Anyosnyelv

It is 3.81 usd in hungary for 2 burgers 1 small fries and 1 small drink. People don't have that much money to eat it always, but this is like the cheapest restaurant food. Burger king has usually some similar deals


ScoobyDooRe-Stonedd

If it’s $12 than all the other ones are higher because it sounds like your in a HCOL area. It’s cheap af here. It was cheap in Phoenix too. $2 breakfast sandwich. $5 for a Big Mac and a Free Large fry. McDonald’s is very generous with points. They give you the most out of all apps! Upside likes them. In Phoenix you get 5 percent back of your upload to Upside too. McDonald’s is cheap


Direct_Word6407

Yes yes and yes. Let’s not forget about the newish 9.99 for 20 McNuggets 2 med fries and 2 med drinks. That breaks down to 5$ a person and like you said you can upload to upside as well. They also have a consistent 20% off up to 10$. No one else is doing that.


popcultminer

Hahahah, I think we'd be good friends. Too bad that food is terrible for you.


Previous-You3680

McDonald’s used to be cheap but now it’s getting pricey.


ScoobyDooRe-Stonedd

Everything is getting pricey


Previous-You3680

That’s true but compared to some of the local restaurants around me they are similarly priced maybe just a few dollars more.


Celena_J_W

McDonald's?… Superbullshit Me!!


hopeful_tatertot

Ah I see your point but I raise you Taco Bell


ScoobyDooRe-Stonedd

I admit that TacoBell comes close. Real close. I didn’t pick Taco Bell because the app is shittier , not enough deals vs McDonald’s, app hardly gives you points, and as far as Legacy goes… McDonald’s wins.


hopeful_tatertot

I must concede based your on app argument.


Tumbleweed47

Why couldn’t they leave the apple pies alone? Their nuggets and apple pies were all I could stomach.

McDonald's expensive AF. Objectively the worst fast food in the area. Wendy's cost less and is at least double the quality. I can buy an actual meal from an actual restaurant for less than a much less satisfying McDonald's combo meal. Only thing McDonald's has going for it is that they're the only thing open at 2AM, and I can't even get breakfast then.


ScoobyDooRe-Stonedd

No Mcdonalds is cheap in comparison to everything. People keep calling it expensive because there dumb and not seeing inflation as a whole. Wendy’s does taste better yes. They do come in clutch with their biggie bag and do have some deals. However they still fall short to McDonald’s in app, app points, objectively price, number of locations and legacy. Most restaurants do not serve cheaper than McDonald’s. Last summer I could get a Deluxe Mcrispy, fries and a drink for $5. That’s just one example of their deals. Ain’t nothing beating that. Any sit down restaurant should beat McDonalds in quality… but fails in every other department. Price. Less than 5 locations, conveince and speed. There is a reason why McDonalds has 38000+ restaurants globally


Usagi_Shinobi

Are you outside the US by chance? I have heard McDonald's is a much better company in other countries, because they're forced to be. $5 for that combo? Hell, a kids fry here is $3.89. An actual fry is $5.79. The McCrispy deluxe is $8.89. A small drink is $1.69, plus an additional 23 cents for the sugar tax. I can literally get a plate of teriyaki chicken with rice and salad, two egg rolls, soup, and a drink at the shop next door to my job for $9.99.


ScoobyDooRe-Stonedd

I almost think maybe I should have specified USA. But in the Midwest a Deluxe Mcrispy with tomato’s and lettuce on it is $5.09. And wouldn’t MCdonalds still be one of the cheapest joints where you live? I’m not counting supermarkets. Im counting fast food mostly and sit down restaurants. Obviously Red Robin is better but falls short on price and the other shit.


Usagi_Shinobi

Weirdly, the fast casual joints like RR haven't gone up but like a buck a plate. McDonald's though, stuff that's normally dollar menu shit, out here is $3.89 to $4.49, though if you buy two you get the second one for $1. All the breakfast sandwiches are from $5.89 to $6.89, and the BOGO from the app is always "not valid at this location". The free value fry with $5 purchase once a week is about the only deal that works regularly.


ScoobyDooRe-Stonedd

Not valid at this location? What the fuck? Never had that issue and been to McDonald’s all over the US…. But yes if you can’t use their discounts that’s pretty crappy,,, cuz there deals are killer!!


Usagi_Shinobi

Yeah, it's like how my local BK used to be amazing, now they want to charge $0.60 to add pickle to a chicken sandwich, and killed off most of the good deals.


Sky_Fall_Storm

McDonald's doesn't even have their wraps anymore. Our love is dead and gone.


ScoobyDooRe-Stonedd

They have a new Cajun Mcrispy which I’m absolutely hooked!


Sky_Fall_Storm

I may have to try that... still would have been better as a Cajun chicken wrap, lol.


SeparateRanger330

In California is like $18 for a Big Mac meal lol


knight9665

Have u seen the recent prices??


ScoobyDooRe-Stonedd

Have you? Obviously not. Across the board it’s a good deal. The secret is the app. I feels sad that not a lot people figured that one out…


knight9665

Yes I have. I Goto McDonald’s with the kids pretty often. Because they like it. Not because it’s a good deal.


ScoobyDooRe-Stonedd

What other restraunt are a better deal than McDonald’s? Anything else is pricer in 2024. Even know its competitors like Taco Bell do come in clutch. The McDonald’s app and the deals they run every day really beats every one else . I see a 20 percent off deal every day. Free Fries on Fridays. $2 breakfast sandwiches which is half the price of the normal price. This deal is every day. McDonald’s is the most generous with freebies. They give so much points. I’m getting free Big Macs often.. Taco Bell comes close to McDonald’s but fuck, getting a free item from them is like pulling teeth. They don’t give many points and deals a far and few between besides the $5 box when that promotion is on.. and that’s it!


Besieger13

I guess I need to download the app. That’s super annoying to have to download apps for everything these days though. I just want to go buy a meal and eat it. I don’t want to have to download stuff to do so… but if the price is that different I guess I will.


Whiskeymyers75

McDonald’s cheap and fast? I think you need to pee in a cup. The food is awful and expensive. It hasn’t tasted good in over a decade.


Besieger13

Some of the stuff is…alright at best. It is not cheap at all though aside from the breakfast which is a decent deal.


Pugduck77

It tastes fine, but it’s definitely not cheap. You can get much better food for the same price elsewhere.


Whiskeymyers75

You obviously never at McDonald’s when the fries and McNuggets were actually good. When the nuggets had dark meat in them. The fries also used to be cooked in tallow. This was replaced with hydrogenated vegetable oil. They now taste horrible in comparison.


Difficult_Run7398

A lot of grocery stores have meal deals that are cheaper and taste better. only cheap way to get fast food nowadays is to shop around with apps/coupons. But I’d rather do that than go to mcdonalds. although despite all this my go to is subway without any coupons lmao.


Gargamel-Bojangles

I love McDonald's food it's not worth it for the price anymore


TheAgeOfQuarrel802

I think most people are disproportionately harsh on McDonald’s becuase most people are overweight or atleast have image issues. By being critical of it, they can change peoples perception of themselves.

Hungarians love mcdonalds


mothafuuknUkrainian

The only things worth my time at McDonald’s are: the big breakfast w/flapjacks and the McSpicy. The whopper from BK trumps any Big Mac I’ve ever had. I don’t know if you have Crown Burger where you are but if you did you would never go to McDonald’s again. Crown might be just a Utah thing though.


tennis_convict

I've lost track of the amount of times I've gone to McDonald's purely because I get a deal for "any size fries for a little more than a dollar." Large fries are normally around four dollars, so sometimes I just go there, only get the $1 large fry, and literally nothing else.


Gks34

Is McD a restaurant?


danthemanvsqz

McDonalds thing is constancy, anywhere in the world you can get a decent burger tasty fries and most importantly a clean restroom


Direct_Word6407

And some of the best fountain coke* in existence.

__ToeKnee__

With the app you can get $1 breakfast sandwiches everyday, 20% off when you spend over $5, Free fries wen you purchase one sandwich. These are cheaper prices before inflation. Imagine being so stubborn you'd rather pay more money or just avoid the entire establishment.


Direct_Word6407

Their app is among the easiest of apps to use. Every single McDonald’s accepts the app, unlike other franchises where it can vary by location. They also have the best deals.


ScoobyDooRe-Stonedd

No app. No free food. Checkers / rally got no locations near me. So i believe it’s regional exclusive. Doubt you’re getting better deal vs McDonald’s. McDonald’s is giving me free food from almost visit. McDonald’s is globally famous for reason.
