Death of fast food is a treat we can all look forward to. Keep raising those prices geniuses!
I'm seeing more local places popping up. I'm happy with that. $15 for a big Mac meal or $15 for the Chicken tikka masala? I'll take the big Mac, said no one.
Full dinner for my family of 4 at McD's us $65.
Full dinner at my locally owned restaurant that offers takeout plus lunch the next day from leftovers - $70.
Eat local. Better food, superior quality, and it keeps money in the neighborhood.
That is fucking bananas in pajamas bananas.
That is bottom tier food for even fast food. $65??!?
It costs $65 for two dinners from my local Indian restaurant and those dinners can serve two. Our serve two for 2 days.
wtf
Same here, but the reason this doesn't work is because a bic Mac meal doesn't cost $15. It's more like $10 or even lower with deals. If you are on a budget and have no time to cook, I can see how the cheaper option can still sway the decision. For me, it's lower than that and will settle for Wendy's 4 for 5. At $5 bucks, it's absolutely worth it every now and then when I just want something cheap and quick.
Dave's combo $9.69 I assume that is a small combo. Local burger place $14.30 that's with a fountain drink 20oz and a small fry (sweet potato or normal ones). Their small fry will feed two adults, like five guys, they add extra fries.
Local place uses local beef, veggies, and bacon. Wendy's I get mystery meats. I'm hoping it's fresh but we know none of it is.
If you get an equal product at Wendy's it would be around $14.69. You will get the large shit fries and a liter of cola. I'll take the local place. For the record I picked the cheapest meal Wendy's had bc most families would look for a "deal". There is the cheaper menu which has jr burgers but my local place has sliders for more $4.45 compared to the $2.49 jr burger. However I can get a good medium rare slider with normal toppings for the $4.45. I will still take that. More food for cheaper.
Large big Mac is $12.21 so I was off by $2.79
It's not just fast food unfortunately. Sit down restaurants, even mom and pop ones are through the roof in pricing as well. Even groceries to cook at home are crazy these days with the pricing
