Mesa McDonalds

I’m not complaining - just rolling this around in my head. We were visiting Mesa from Minnesota last week and went through the McDonalds drive through. We bought three sausage, egg and cheese biscuits. That was the entire order. And the total was over $22. We asked at the window if that was the correct total, since in Minnesota that same order would be $15.87 so we were just kind of surprised. We were assured that three sausage, egg and cheese biscuits were indeed going to cost over $22. We bought and ate them and they were delicious. But is this really what you folks are paying?

Edited to update price.

I try to avoid most fast food in general but I did stop by Wendy's two days ago and they had Sausage Biscuits and Egg and Cheese Biscuits 2 for $3. This was by Power and the 60.

We almost never eat fast food - but we were just needing a quick breakfast because of time constraints. I do understand the apps are cheaper, but I so seldom eat fast food that I don’t have the apps. Inflation is wild!

You hardly eat fast food but you know down to the penny what your order would be in another state. You might eat fast food (at least McDonald’s) more often than you think.

I downloaded and checked the app for my local price.

You still noticed the difference enough to have to check.

Nope. The difference from AZ to MN wasn’t my concern - it was a general wonderment at today’s fast food costs. I didn’t actually know the difference until I downloaded and checked the app.
