Man Shocked by $16 Mcdonald's Combo Meal: Is Inflation Out of Control?

[phanatic]

Yep.
The burger by itself at Five Guys is about $16.


Niggas betta start hittin up Wendy's......get that Fo Fo Fo.....

Cook at fucking home. For less than the price it would take to feed this dude and a date, I could make 50/50 burgers with all the trimmings and fresh cut fries for two people.

 

[shinobi]

Today, this meal would be about $15.00

 

[footloose]

Yes

Today, this mean would be about $15.00

Imma go get the Doc and warm up the Delorean, we going back to 1999

That throwback receipt from '99 is an eye-opener.

 

[Helico-pterFunk]

There's a few local A&W locations. Prior to the pandemic they would send out their coupon sheets and one of the big draws was the Teen Burger OR Mozza Burger + Onion Rings for $6. That seemed like a deal.

That same coupon is now burger + onion rings for $11.

Give it a year, it'll be $12 or $13.

That's price gouging not inflation.

In McDs defense that was a limited edition burger / meal...

The bacon double qpc meal large is $13 here.....

So you gotta add like $1 for lettuce and tomato and then maybe $0.50 -$1 for the bacon upgrade, (thicker smoke flavored bacon vs regular)..... and that's about right....

But yeah try to get this at five guys and the burger itself is $12-$13 itself, fries are like $5, drink is another $3

 

[D24OHA]

More than likely it was at a airport

U may b right or a downtown area... cause in the regular city the combo meals aint quite that high

Good observation. Shit’ll be 3-figures for snacks and a bottle of water.

I broke it down, it was one of their limited edition sandwiches "Smokey Bacon DBL QPC"

A better observation is to like I said, look at the receipt... ain't no airport at Post Falls, Idaho..... let alone one big enough for a Mickey D's


.

yup all on the receipt

 

[Helico-pterFunk]

The problem isn’t inflation. It’s prices.

What goes up may not come down. Like, ever.

Are $18 Big Macs the price of falling inequality?

Even socialists are bristling at the rising cost of fast food.

Fast foodies are getting fed up with price hikes at the drive-thru

McDonald’s is vowing to focus more on affordability after it joined a handful of major restaurant brands seeing consumers balk at pricier menu items.
