That's corporate greed, a reoccuring theme today

One thing that I always used to think as a kid going to McDonalds when looking at the menu, I would say to myself:

"Wow, a hamburger is only $0.59 and a cheeseburger is $0.69. If I had a dollar and gave it to a homeless person for food, they could afford a sandwich at McDonalds"

Not anymore!! $20 I don't know about, but probably. Didn't Big Macs use to be something like $2.79 for the meal? Crazy how prices have gone up on everything through the years.

A bk combo is close to $15 now. It’s best to cook your own food. Cheaper and healthier imo

The size of the burgers are considerably smaller too.
I remember getting a McDonald's big mac when I was over at a Friend's house and not being able to eat the whole thing.

It has definitely gotten way more expensive, but it’s still possible if you do the $5 meal deals or use the app for deals and rewards.

It did. I've heard you can get better prices buying via the app but I refuse to put a fastfood app on my phone.
Hell, there are doordash places that are cheaper than McDonald's now- with much better burgers/menu options. Not many but I know we've found some.

Our family never had McDonalds for a meal when I was growing up. There were McDonalds in town but so many other good places to get food to take home…fried chicken stands, hamburger stands, etc.

It used to be that luxuries were expensive and necessities like food were cheap.

That has totally done a 180.

For fast food, it isn't even worth it anymore. Supposedly some of them have been scaling back on prices because of lowered sales.

Fast food is so expensive now! It’s almost $40 for 2 people..

I suggest going to BREAKFAST at McDonalds instead of lunch or dinner. You can get a $5 breakfast combo which includes a sausage egg McMuffin.

This is why I am choosing to grow my own food this year. Whatever healthy options I can.

And the food isn't as good and the portions are smaller.

You're better off giving your money to Mom and Pop places which are healthier and probably cheaper than the chains.
People are lazy and just want drive-thru.

A family of 4 for under $5 when burgers were 15 cents!

Everything is going up!

Just cook it at home

Cheaper and better for you to make your own meals.

You are not crazy. When I was a kid you got a cheeseburger, fries and a soda. Their advertising use to say "Change back from your dollar".

Sounds about right

You’d be a lot healthier without McDonald’s 🤮🤮🤮

You’re not wrong, the garbage is expensive now.

In the late nineties a happy meal was three dollars.

Instead of 4 it's 2.5 now

Remember when the two cheeseburger extra value meal was only $2.99, supersize was only $0.39 more?
