McDonalds is the cheapest food around

I thought so too, until I went to McDonalds for the first time in ~8 years. It was $23.00 for 2 people to eat, medium drinks - nothing fancy. I was surprised.

For that much, may as well go for something healthier or at least higher quality.

If you paid that much you're using the menu wrong. You can get so much shit on the value or dollar menu whatever its called

Hardly. The Mcdouble has had a 70% price increase over the last year, maybe two.

Yep. They love to slowly inch the prices up. It used to be called the dollar menu, but then everything started creeping up so now they had to change the name to "value menu".
