I just looked up the prices at Walmart and the cheapest I can find is $1.30 for just chicken+bun. These are bargain basement chicken patties, probably not very tasty. Of course, this is assuming you can eat the entire package before they goes bad. You also run into the problem of not being able to buy the same amount of patties and buns due to package sizes, and when you want to add lettuce you have to buy an entire head so you'll have to plan ahead to use the rest of the lettuce. I really wouldn't want to eat frozen french fries either, they are just really bad. Might as well make something more edible as a side like macaroni salad. I guess my point is that only if you're making food for a large family or are a really big eater then the supermarket is cheaper. Otherwise, don't feel bad for "wasting" money at McDonald's. I don't have a horse in this race though, I'm a vegetarian, I don't eat this stuff.
