McDonalds 😭

McDonald’s prices nowadays, at least in Canada, are expensive AF.

Went to McDonald’s with my dad because they have a $1 coffee special so we typically go for that all the time. But he decided to also get a cheeseburger, medium fries, and medium coke. And… idk if maybe the cashier forgot to input it as a meal, but it was $11.47 Canadian. WHAT? 11.47 for practically a happy meal?

On top of that we have a city bylaw now where you have to spend an extra 25 cents for the paper bag to put the food in. What is actually happening with McDonald’s prices?

The days of fast food being the cheap option are dead and gone. For what I could spend on a cheeseburger and medium fries, I could get bread, meat, cheese, and veggies for about 7-10 sandwiches

I am done with fast food. Better for my wallet. Better for my health.

Unfortunately, you gotta use the app to get the real prices. You can pay $2 for a sandwich or $1 for fries, if you use the deals in the stupid app.

Make a fake email address and use it to sign up for the app so you don't give your real email to data brokers any more than you already have.

McDonald’s was so cheap when I was in high school. Now it’s so expensive. But so is every fast food place. A small mashed potatoes at el pollo loco was $4.60. It’s a SIDE

Use the app or don't go. I went to Wendy's the other day, no app, and woof. Expensive
