A few years ago I could get a sausage mcmuffin and a coke (any size) for $2.12. Over the last 4 years it kept creeping up, price bouncing etc. It reach $4.23 for a few weeks. I remember because it was a penny shy of double the old price. Then one day.... Boom $4.24. No idea how they set prices but it was interesting they felt "just one cent more" was important :-)
And yes there is also a lot of variation around the region, but the above was at a single location.
- floren 3y agoThe McDouble used to be a good deal for a quick bite on a road trip... I think it was about $1.40 when it first showed up? It'll now run $4 at some Bay Area locations. Just like the high prices of soda ($2.50 for a 20oz bottle?) it's had the effect of making me stop consuming the stuff, so overall it's a win for me.
- earthling8118 3y agoThe McDouble was a replacement for the double cheeseburger on the $1 menu. It was the same burger with one less slice of cheese and acted as a placeholder when they raised the price of the regular double beyond $1
- floren 3y agoThe $1 menu which is now of course the $1-$2-$3 menu... and I think the only thing that's still close to $1 is soda.
- WWLink 3y agoYea I remember when the McDouble was $1 .. that was like 10 years ago wasn't it?! Burger king had a fantastic double cheeseburger for $1 too, pissed off all the franchisees lol. I think the mcdouble is $3.50 or so out here now.
- diob 3y agoThe 2 muffins for 4 was the only time I ever went to them. I don't really understand the folks still visiting Maccas these days.
