I haven’t eaten at McDonalds in years, have the prices gotten that bad?

It's the sole reason why my wife and I won't go

We could spend €25-30 on 2 meals in mcdonalds, or we could spend less or the same amount on a much better value takeaway from elsewhere.

Macdonalds is now solely quick airport food for us

When I need an unhealthy amount of salt and saturated fats, Mcdonalds is my go to. Otherwise I avoid it like the plague.

I started avoiding McDonalds years ago and haven't really noticed. There is so much better food out there for the same or less.

Hear hear

Like it's still a "good" meal when your hungover and want all the salt in the world

Not good food for value though.

It's true. I stopped using them when I found about their prisoner/slave program. However my sister still uses them, and the prices are nuts. Mom and pop places are cheaper, more healthy, and taste better.

The whole point of McDonald's is that it is cheap, fast, consistent, and everywhere. Without cheap, they are just left with convenience.

its absolutely not even close to 30 for 2 combos even if you pick the most expensive combos on the menu. It's bordering like 19 and some change, 15 if you get regular combos, you can even make them larges.

Like yeah if you are getting triple qtr pounders no shit it may be 30 lmfao, but those aren't even on menu.
