I don’t want to do an apples to oranges comparison but that $5 value meal is good value for what it is. If I go to a restaurant and order a steak they’ll charge me a preposterous amount for some subpar meat whereas if I pay 15% more I can get A5 Wagyu at a butcher’s. I get it - it’s not the same, but if their overhead is so severe then that restaurant has problems. Except, if every restaurant raised their prices then it points to a more systematic issue. Prices of just about everything have gone up significantly, for starters. Even getting raw ingredients in some cases does not mean you’ll save that much money. So, again, good on McD to offer this. It’s reasonably priced.
