I thought I was CRAZY. I tried the $5 burrito hack on a take out order and was mildly unimpressed. It’s ok in a pinch but for 50 cents more I’ll get way more food at McDonald’s. My wife went in and ordered it on a different day and they gave her SIGNIFICANTLY more food. Like double. In that scenario it’s definitely worth it.

What is this hack? My Chipotle hack is to order a burrito bowl with all the free extra toppings, get two tortillas on the side, and you can portion out the bowl into about two regular sized Chipotle burritos.

It’s the same but you order a taco instead of the burrito bowl. All the free toppings you get them on the side.

hearing people say "get way more food for $5.50 (total) at McDonald's" is wild

in Canada, a jr chicken (mchicken equivalent? it's been a while) is $4. used to be a good value. not anymore

I remember when the McChicken was a buck.

Same

Don't forget all the other restaurants that are screwing us blue.

Taco Bell adheres to the 12.72% year over year inflation rate because why not?

Two mcchickens or a mcchicken and McDouble are only $5 in most areas.

One regular mcchicken on its own is like 3.79 (California, but I travel a lot and it’s sorta consistent).

Here in AZ a sausage mcmuffin with egg is 6.99 before tax

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Thats crazy, I can get 2 sausage egg n cheese mcmuffins for $4.50 after tax and this is NJ (were not cheap).

Portland metro area a mcchicken is $4.20

They have the audacity to still have it in the “McValue” section
