    McDonald’s is expensive now.

    A double cheeseburger was a dollar a few years ago, sure. But it’s almost that much for a single nugget these days.

    A hash brown is 3.50 at the one by my office.

      Looked it up:

      McDonald’s double cheeseburger hasn’t been a dollar for over 15 years (started in 2002, and in 2008, the McDouble replaced it, which had one fewer slice of cheese). And the McDouble itself stopped being a dollar in 2013, over a decade ago. Bit more than “a few years ago”–I think Covid screwed up everyone’s perception of time more than usual, lol.

      That said, I get lunch at work several times a week at Wendy’s and always pay less than $5, not too bad all things considered imo.

        Wendy’s is still a pretty good deal. A cup of chili and some nuggets ain’t a bad price.
