Restaurant prices across the country are higher than they used to be. Food away from home prices were 7.7% more expensive in June 2023 than they were in June 2022.
Even historically affordable fast-food chains like McDonald's have been charging consumers more and more over the last few years.
If stopping at McDonald's for breakfast has been costing you extra lately, that side of hash browns might be to blame. Customers have been slamming the chain over the cost of those crispy fried potato patties lately.
There's no denying that McDonald's fries are incredibly popular. But lately, customers have been complaining that those salty fried spuds have become more expensive than they're worth.
The McChicken itself might be easy to swallow, but the same can't be said for the cost of this popular sandwich. Customers were stunned this week after a viral TikTok shed light on some surprisingly high McChicken prices.
If you want to get fries and a drink with your Big Mac nowadays, you might need to make peace with paying big bucks.
McDonald's customers have been outraged to see Big Mac Combo meals selling for as high as $18 in some parts of the United States.
In a very similar instance, another customer called out McDonald's on Twitter this week after spotting a Big Mac Combo for nearly $18 at a Connecticut rest stop.
