They want $3 for a standard cheeseburger. It’s not even worth my time to see if there’s any coupons or deals anymore.
We used to get McDonald’s 2-3 times a month. I haven’t bought from them since December, and I’m struggling to find a reason to ever go back regularly.
My local grocery store had ground beef at 2.50 a pound. I priced it out per burger, with the fixings it costs under $3 for two 1/3 pound burgers. The other week we did steaks (top sirloin $10/pound) and potatoes which were still cheaper than a combo. I haven’t been to McD’s in years. I guess I’m too cheap.
