Earlier this year our friends at the New York Post called out McDonalds for the slow disappearance of the famous “dollar menu.”
It actually recently became the $1 to $3 Menu.
Now, even McDonald’s CEO Joe Erlinger has openly confirmed that inflation has wreaked havoc on Ronald McDonald’s bargain menu. He acknowledged that his average menu item costs 40% more than it did in 2019. The average price of a Big Mac meal is now almost $10.
Almost 9 in 10 of Americans eat at McDonald’s at least once a year, but surveys show many lower income Americans are visiting fast food restaurants less because of the rising prices. When even eating at the Golden Arches has gotten too expensive for families to afford, you know Bidenflation is starting to really bite.
