    $25 for fast food for a single person? Two McDoubles, a small fry and a small drink is $11.05 here in Canada. More than enough food for a quick meal.

      I spent roughly 16 USD on my order, I normally got two bacon mcdoubles no onions, a large fry and a large lemonade. This same meal used to be 11/12$ less than 4 years ago

      In the US I use the app to get 2 mcchickens and a large fry on Friday for $4. Does the job just fine.

      We also have a $5 mcdouble, 4pc mcnugget, small fry and small drink combo. You can’t just walk in and order what you want if you want a good price, unfortunately - but theres still some value to be had if you at least try - that $5 combo is on the app, drive through board, and the in store kiosk.

      Those arent denominated in the same currency, so direct comparisons of prices are somewhat… fraught.

        Dude, $11 CDN is $7.87 USD. If anything, the difference in currency amplifies my point.

            Huh… Turns out my understanding of the definition of the word fraught was wrong. Thanks for making me learn something today.
