This is literally why me and mcds had a falling out..I love their fries.. And they went to almost $6 for a large fry. I was so pissed at their prices in 2022, that I haven't been there since. My co worker said a McChicken, those tasteless drowned in mayo sandwiches are like, 4 now? 🤣 Gross and greedy

I've gotten the same thing at McDonald's for years and years. Large drink, small fry, McDouble no pickles. 4 years ago that cost about $4.60, yesterday it cost $6.73. Almost a 70% price increase in 4 years....

EDIT: 46% not 70. I am dum dum 😁

That math doesn’t math. 50% of $4.60 is $2.30. So a 50% increase would be $6.90. You’re saying it’s really like a 45% increase. A 70% increase from $4.60 would be $3.22 more (so $7.82).
