McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski is promising to bring back “affordability” to the fast-food chain as sales growth slows.

      With the McDonald’s app they had a $6 Big Mac medium combo deal but they recently changed it to a medium double cheeseburger meal for $6.

    Anybody get past the paywall to see where it’s with $18? I just pulled up the menu for nearest McD and a medium Big Mac meal is $8.98 where I live. Which now seems like a heck of a deal.

    Whatever, don’t care. Won’t be lured in to eat their crappy food. I could gather more sustenance from sunlight more cheaply and with better service. Bagged lunches unite!

        I keep patties/fries in the freezer and have an easily accessible grill and air fryer for when that urge hits. The only thing I need to get is the buns.

        We rarely eat at McDonald’s these days. The prices pushed us out along with the poor quality food.

          During the pandemic I just got really good at cooking and food prep. Air fried cauliflower! Air fried green beans! Air fried jalapenos! There’s so many good things to cook, looking back on fastfood is honestly bland.

          (Air fry black beans for a pretty good beef crumble imitation - great for walking tacos and wraps)

    It better get much further than spitting distance from what carryout at a local pub buys me price-wise. Currently it’s essentially the same price whether I go get a hand-formed burger and fries with actual fresh lettuce and tomato from the local pub as it is if I get a meal from McD.

    They were only ever winning on cost and speed, and now they can’t even compete there.

    What the… I use the 30% coupon and buy the big Mac bundle box which has 2 big macs, 2 cheeseburgers, 2 large fries, and a 10 pc nugget in it. Always too much food but super cheap at $16.
