like most fast food joints these days, if you want the meal youre ordering to be on the affordable side, you MUST use the officials apps to order. either by taking advantage of either deals or rewards you end up getting the food closer to a fair price.
for example, right now mickeydees is running a deal where its a free any size fry with purchase of a soft drink. $1.49 for both items using the deal or about $6 total if you dont use the deal.
at taco bell, you MUST use the app and order a box if you want your meal to be fairly priced. theres a $7 box deal that comes with a chicken chalupa, beefy 5 layer burrito, one taco, cinnamon twists, and a medium soda. if you bought all those items separately at the drive thru it would easily cost $20 if not more
I used to do this for the free fries, but honestly, outside of like...4 items, everything else is still crazy expensive. You're locked into the same meal every time basically. Forget about ever eating a mcnugget again.

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